Companies built differently.

SpringForward incubates social enterprises using our EVERY Employee™ approach to create high-quality jobs and build individual 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 model that offers more than a job. Employees earn competitive wages and benefits, help shape workplace decisions, and have the opportunity to become employee-owners.

Guided by four core principles—Economic Security, Employee Well-Being, Participatory Culture, and a Human-Centered Work Environment—the model creates workplaces where people are valued, supported, and empowered to succeed.

EVERY Employee™ includes personalized training, flexible workplace supports, on-site behavioral health services, and skill development in communication, self-advocacy, leadership, and business fundamentals.

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 individual wealth

The EVERY Employee™ framework can be applied in other industries and communities. SpringForward will share what we learn as we build our employment social enterprises, so others can replicate our success in helping those encountering barriers to employment overcome economic and social inequities.
