National Staffing Employee Week is almost here, and many staffing agencies around the country are preparing to celebrate. Demonstrating employee appreciation should be a core principle of every staffing agency. Now, there’s a week explicitly dedicated to the task. From September 12 to 18, the American Staffing Association will host National Staffing Employee Week.
National Staffing Employee Week Goals
Staffing agencies around the country are encouraged to follow suit and spend the week celebrating their employees. Thus, they can do this by extending recognition to the most valuable members of the workforce. Companies looking for ways to celebrate can follow these four tips to show gratitude to their staff.
Recognize the Biggest Staffing Stars
As National Staffing Employee Week starts, it’s essential to recognize the most significant contributors to the company. Also, it might be the staff member who has filled the most shifts or an employee who consistently garners excellent client feedback. Recruiters can spend the week celebrating these superstars by highlighting their strengths and recognizing their role in the company’s growth. Posters, thank you cards, and gift cards are just a few ways to congratulate the top employees in the company.
Celebrate Victories Big and Small
National Staffing Employee Week isn’t just about congratulating the most significant achievers in the market. It’s also about recognizing every hurdle employees have overcome over the year. Likewise these can include the small accomplishments that some might otherwise overlook. For example, staffing companies should consider the challenges of recruiting amid a national labor shortage. Success despite these circumstances is a significant victory to celebrate, but so are more minor victories — for example, retaining longtime clients or continuously placing new hires in positions that are a good fit. It’s essential to recognize the staff members who make these victories possible.
Offer a Congratulatory Luncheon
It may be tempting to focus all of the week’s efforts and attention on the company’s top achievers, but National Staffing Employee Week is about every team member. Staffing companies should look for a way to extend thanks to all employees, and a congratulatory luncheon is a great way to do so. Recruiters can invite all staff members to the office for a free catered lunch to demonstrate the company’s appreciation.
Invest in Staff Members Continuously
The best way to demonstrate appreciation for staff members is to provide them with a safe and supportive work environment all year. Investing in the right staffing business insurance is integral to ensuring that employees are protected — but companies might wonder, what insurance does a temp agency need? The answer will depend on the agency’s number of employees and a range of other unique factors. Staffing agencies should connect with insurance agents to assess their needs and find the right coverage.
