Solve retail’s hiring crisis with a workforce you’ve overlooked.
RETAIL INDUSTRY
The U.S. retail industry faces one of the highest employee turnover rates of any sector.
In 2023, annual turnover among retail staff exceeded 60%, with frontline roles such as cashiers and sales associates hardest hit (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics). Constant staff turnover drives up recruitment costs, disrupts customer service, and leaves businesses short-staffed during critical trading periods.
Every year, more than 600,000 people return home from prison. Many are motivated to prove themselves, equipped with skills from accredited training programs, and actively seeking stable employment. Studies show that second-chance hires often stay longer and are more loyal than traditional hires.
For example, Koch Industries reported a 93% retention rate among second-chance employees after 18 months (SHRM, 2022).
