Let's create Equity@Work

We're giving you the facts, so you can rethink your talent strategy, end discriminatory hiring practices, and meet your goals.

Standing up for what's right.

Today, numerous barriers can make it difficult—or impossible—for qualified, capable workers to attain enriching work. Rarely challenged, these systemic obstacles keep millions of talented people excluded from the workforce. At Keystone, we believe everyone who wants to work deserves the opportunity for meaningful work. That's what our Equity@Work initiative is all about.

The world is ready.

Employers are desperate for talent, while large numbers of qualified workers are unable to secure employment due to outdated hiring practices.

Americans strongly support Equity@Work.

Millions of capable, qualified people are ready and willing to work. Yet, many face significant barriers to employment. It's time companies tap into these talent pools. Americans expect them to.

We are dedicated to removing hiring barriers for anyone who is qualified, including:

Justice-impacted talent

Offering fair-chance hiring to individuals with past conviction records who are ready to rebuild their lives.

Workers without college degrees

Pivoting to skills-first hiring rather than pedigree screening to capture raw capabilities and work ethics.

Neurodivergent professionals

Adapting hiring and workplace conditions to unlock the immense analytical talents of neurodiverse staff.

Older workers and retirees

Welcoming experienced hands back to work with flexible or part-time schedules that match their lifestyle.
