Success Stories

I just love it when a well laid plan comes together! Let me explain….last year, one of our staffing clients called our office to say that they would need additional temporary staffing to complete a short term project. The catch was that they were actually competing with a sister plant to keep the work on an ongoing basis. If the project went well, our client company would receive additional work, if not, it would be awarded to the other plant.
Our team partnered with their team to organize an orientation with close to 100 new employees. We created a company specific orientation to explain the significance of the project and we provided staff members on site for the first few days. We even provided working supervisors because our client company didn’t have anyone they could spare.
The end result was a huge success! The project was completed ahead of the time frame and the quality standards were above expectations. In fact, the corporate office was so pleased that our local plant kept the work on an ongoing basis. Several of those employees that were part of the original crew have actually been hired on by our client due to the need for increased capacity.
Now, that is what we at Personnel Resources like to call a win/win!
