From Welfare to Work: Corporate Initiatives and Welfare Reform

By Felice Davidson Perlmutter

Book Overview

Using a case example of how Pennsylvania Blue Shield trained, hired, and retained several hundred welfare recipients on its work force, From Welfare to Work offers a compelling success story and a broad discussion of welfare reform, public policy, and corporate social responsibility. It also offers a practical explanation of the specific steps needed to establish such a program, including corporate tax incentives, business and government collaborations, and the special needs of welfare recipients. Demonstrating that it is possible for corporate America to combine bottom-line goals with socially responsible goals, this book is essential reading for all corporate executives who combine concern for the well-being of their companies with a sense of social responsibility.

Informative

I took a class on Poverty and Welfare. This was one of my required readings. It will help open your eyes and change the stigma you have about those on welfare and about poverty in America.
