Givens Communities is the featured “Partner Spotlight” of the Asheville Area Chamber of Commerce in a monthly newsletter.
The article cites how Givens Communities has chosen to make an intentional focus on a culture and environment that is centered on inclusivity and creating sense of belonging for all individuals to feel safe coming to work as their authentic selves.
Centered on a conversation with Kayla Welch, HR Lead Talent Acquisition Specialist, she explains how Givens Careers has exemplified collaboration and intentionality in inclusive hiring practices.
Current efforts have resulted in successful hires by prioritizing access, resources, and opportunities for marginalized community members.
The Asheville Chamber is shining a light throughout August on partners who are opening doors for local job seekers in healthcare, supporting employers with direct access to onsite interviews and on-the-spot offers, and reflecting on the local unemployment and current economic indicators.
