Companies built differently.
SpringForward incubates social enterprises using our EVERY Employee™ approach to create high-quality jobs and build community wealth so that all workers can thrive.
SpringForward is on a mission to redefine the job market for people encountering multiple barriers to employment.
EVERY Employee™ is a replicable, employment and business structure that provides more than just a steady job; workers earn a fair wage with benefits, participate in decision-making, have a voice in governance, and eventually, an ownership stake in the business operation.
EVERY Employee™ guiding principles are: Economic Security; Employee Well-Being; Participatory Culture; and a Human-Centered Work Environment. By putting workers' abilities and needs at the center of the company, EVERY Employee™ fosters a sense of belonging and self-worth among employees that comes from doing meaningful work at a place where they are valued and respected.
EVERY Employee™ includes personalized levels of training and flexibility, customized workspaces and break areas, and on-site mental health specialists. Workers receive training in communication, self-advocacy, participatory decision-making, and business finance.
By providing the right support for each individual to be successful, the entire team benefits.
Workers experience:
High-quality jobs with fair compensation
Greater job satisfaction and sense of belonging
Meaningful participation in the business operation
Increased worker assets and community wealth
