Description of the enterprising work that went into this entry and its significance or impact on readers:

Some of the largest employers in the United States have pledged to hire more than 22,000 refugees over the next three years. Theresa Agovino, in SHRM’s All Things Work newsletter, reports on the commitment of companies such as Pfizer, Amazon and Marriott, to hire refugees who have left both Afghanistan and Ukraine. Her reporting reveals that refugees, grateful for the opportunity, exhibit more loyalty to an employer and are less likely to leave. The article also explores how companies deal with the hurdles of hiring refugees, such as language barriers and cultural differences.
