Reimagining Inclusive Recruitment
What if you could make a significant impact on one of Manchester’s most entrenched social challenges, simply through engaging in business as usual? Homelessness impacts everyone in our city, and while working with businesses to better support charitable efforts across the city, social enterprise Noisy Cricket spotted an opportunity to empower concerned organisation’s to make a more strategic and sustainable contribution to the issue.
How? Through offering employment to some of the most vulnerable people in our society, businesses can offer those impacted an income, the opportunity to afford a home and a community. The only issue is, significant barriers exist, but as the HI “Homeless Inclusive” Future project has revealed, these sit with the businesses as much as those with personal insight into the issue.
So, for the past year, Noisy Cricket has brought together businesses like Balfour Beatty and Manchester Airport Group, social sector organisations including the DWP and Business in the Community together with people who have experienced homelessness to research, design and develop an innovative and inclusive recruitment solutions, it’s those businesses that are keen to improve their diversity or demonstrate social value that are backing HI Future as a system changing, culture shifting and personally empowering response to homelessness.
