Finding the right talent is the #1 priority for Coastal Bend businesses. But what happens when a great candidate has a “risky” background? Whether it’s a gap in work history, past justice involvement, or credit challenges, the Texas Workforce Commission (TWC) Fidelity Bonding Program is here to bridge the gap.

What is it?

It’s a free business insurance policy that protects you against potential losses (theft, forgery, etc.) during the first six months of a new hire’s employment. Think of it as a “no-risk” guarantee for giving someone a second chance.

• Zero Paperwork: No long applications or complicated forms.

• Instant Protection: Most bonds provide $5,000 in coverage with $0 deductible.

Loyalty: “Second-chance” hires often become the most dedicated and hardworking members of a team.
