WHY DO EMPLOYERS JOIN CWC'S EMPLOYER NETWORK?
Need Support and Resources
We get it, no one gave you a guide on how to start an equitable cannabis business. Many people who employ cannabis or hemp workers are navigating on their own while seeking to realize their commitment to fair employment practices.
Finding a Community
This helps employers combat isolation and share common experiences of employing people in this growing sector of the economy, including feeling personally transformed by their relationship with the workers they employ.
Engaging in a Movement with Shared Values
Hemp and Cannabis employers who seek to foster a fair workplace at their locations are often grounded in values of justice, workers rights, awareness that the personal is political, and recognition of the complexity of people’s lives and multiple identities as employers.
