Social Enterprises Can Be Your Vendors
When you contract with social enterprises as vendors, your company or organization receives value on two levels: you purchase high-quality goods and services while contributing to the growth and sustainability of unique businesses that hire people who may otherwise be left out of the workforce.
You gain new, well-qualified contractors to perform important functions. At the same time your company demonstrates its commitment to socially responsible business practices and can meet supplier diversity goals.
Let REDF help you achieve this “double bottom-line” success. Learn more about Contracting with Social Enterprises.
Hiring Social Enterprise Graduates
If your company seeks to reduce entry-level turnover, REDF can help.
Employees in a social enterprise gain valuable preparation for entering the for-profit workforce. Many people who work in social enterprises go on to successful employment with private companies like yours.
REDF can help you assess the costs and benefits of employing social enterprise graduates. For many businesses, social enterprise graduates are good long-term hires because they possess strong work-ready skills and require less training.
