Why hiring refugees is good for business

Tent was launched in 2016 by Hamdi Ulukaya, the CEO and founder of multibillion dollar food company Chobani. The organization mobilizes businesses to connect refugees to work; one of the most important milestones for a refugee to successfully integrate in their new communities. It supports and advises member companies through a variety of services including tailored guidance, access to a library of ‘how to’ resources and best practices, training for HR teams, connections to best-in-class local NGOs, and more. Tent’s members span a variety of industries – from retail and consumer goods to hospitality and financial services – and include major businesses such as Amazon, L’Oréal, ManpowerGroup, and Pfizer.
