Abstract

The aim of this research is to find the best practices for companies who are willing to work with employees that have criminal backgrounds. With negative connotations that are automatically associated with an ex-offender, it can be nearly impossible to find work, and just as hard maintain employment. This may be due to a variety of different factors, one of which being the way that managers approach this challenge. According to the findings, openness, masculinity, moderate power distance, long-term orientation are some of the key factors in maintaining a useful working relationship between employees in this demographic and employers. In the following report, I review literature and delve into my own research regarding the importance of this topic and distinguish strategies for management to find meaningfulness out of helping these high-risk individuals keep employment.
