Building a Recovery Ready Workplace with Envoy’s Salomon Moreno-Rosa Building PA Podcast
In this episode of the Building PA Podcast, hosts Jon O’Brien and Chris Martin are joined by Salomon Moreno-Rosa, Managing Director of Strategy and Philanthropy at Envoy, to discuss the idea of “Recovery Ready Workplaces” and the significance of fair chance employment in the construction sector.
Salomon explains that fair chance employment aims to foster inclusive hiring practices, particularly for individuals reentering the workforce and those recovering from substance use disorders. He underscores the value of partnerships with community organizations, which can connect employers with new talent pools while providing crucial support services like transportation, housing, and childcare.
The conversation also explores the Recovery Ready Workplace series, a program designed to help employers create supportive work environments. Salomon outlines the program’s components, including virtual training modules, downloadable toolkits, and personalized consultations with HR experts. This initiative seeks to reduce stigma, enhance employee well-being, and boost productivity and retention.
Employers across Pennsylvania are encouraged to participate in the free series, which offers valuable benefits for both employees in recovery and businesses, such as lower turnover rates and improved workplace morale.
The episode concludes with Jon and Chris thanking Salomon for sharing his expertise and providing resources to help employers address workforce development challenges while making a positive impact in their communities.
