Our Partnership with Employment Horizons
We would like to shine a spotlight this month on a few Production Associates who have become members of our CCG family through our partnership with Employment Horizons. Employment Horizons is an organization whose mission is “to assist people with barriers to employment to achieve their individual vocational objectives and establish self-sufficiency in the community.”
Tara McEntee, CCG’s Chief People Officer, explains, “Finding an organization with a mission to assist people with barriers to employment, and being able to create ways for these employees to feel established, accomplished, and a part of a team is a win/win for everyone.”
CCG currently employs 7 associates, some pictured above, and we truly appreciate the commitment and effort they put forth each day on our production floor.

They work with local employers to create inclusive workplaces and meaningful employment opportunities.
Why do companies partner with workforce development organizations?
Companies partner with workforce development organizations to access motivated, reliable workers while making a positive community impact. Inclusive hiring programs support individuals who face employment barriers and often discover that team members from these programs bring strong work ethic, loyalty, and dedication. Workforce partnerships also reinforce a company’s commitment to community and social responsibility.
What is inclusive hiring in a fulfillment operation?
Inclusive hiring in a fulfillment operation means actively recruiting and supporting team members from populations that face barriers to employment — including individuals with disabilities, returning citizens, and others who may be overlooked by traditional hiring processes. Fulfillment and warehouse operations are well-suited to inclusive hiring because they offer a range of roles at different skill levels with clear structure and tangible output.
How does CCG Marketing Solutions support workforce diversity?
CCG Marketing Solutions supports workforce diversity through partnerships with organizations like Employment Horizons, language programs through the Language Institute of West Caldwell, and a culture vision focused on building high-performing, inclusive teams. The company’s ONE CCG initiative emphasizes relationships, skill development, and shared purpose across its diverse West Caldwell workforce.
Why is community investment important for fulfillment companies?
Fulfillment companies with large warehouse and production workforces are significant local employers — making community investment a direct expression of business values and a practical contribution to the communities where they operate. Companies that invest in workforce development, community partnerships, and inclusive hiring build stronger teams, better community relationships, and more resilient operations.
