Why Workforce ?
Excellent question and one you should be asking of any company that will support your business and become a partner in your organization’s success. Any staffing firm can tell you that they will get you “the best employee at the lowest price.” But you won’t hear that same rhetoric from Workforce – we want to bring you more:
Experience and Reputation: Workforce is the leading regional staffing firm in Eastern Missouri and has been since 1994. Long term relationships are the foundation of our business. Our staff has an average tenure of 9 years, and our management team has more than more than 60 years of combined experience in the staffing industry. We know what it takes to staff your facility right, the first time. We recognize how the rapidly changing business environment can force quick, significant shifts in workforce requirements. Hundreds of companies and thousands of employees have depended on us for many years to be a valuable community resource, to provide honest, timely feedback and to match the right candidates with the right companies.
Innovative Recruiting: No longer will you be able to find the talent you need by using the traditional recruiting resources of the past. Workforce understands the effectiveness of using multiple sources to secure the talent you need. The use of social media, our interactive website, internal marketing programs, plus traditional resources brings talent to your door
Market Knowledge: Expert knowledge of our markets, current business and hiring trends, and market conditions are our business. We know what is happening with regional businesses; we work closely with local Industrial Development Authorities to recruit new business to the area, and we understand what ancillary businesses will complement those of our clients. As your partner, we keep you up to date on the most recent changes in Human Resource law, state and federal employment law changes, regional wages and benefits and what is happening with other pressing topics that affect your bottom line.
Technology: We know that the pace of business moves quickly. We know that your business needs a staffing partner that can keep up with your needs. That’s why we have invested a tremendous amount in new, state-of-the-art staffing-specific software. It not only allows us to have hundreds of employees at our fingertips, but it actually makes your job EASIER by allowing us to provide up to the minute, customized reporting for anything you will need. Turnover reports, EEOC compliance reports, employee demographic reports, or any number of company-specific data you need can be gathered and delivered to you in minutes. It’s anything but cookie-cutter -- it is a program designed specifically with your needs in mind.
A true Partnership: Remember when “partners” actually meant something, and solid, long-term relationships were launched with a handshake? We still believe wholeheartedly in that philosophy. We pledge to do our best every day to exceed your expectations in candidate placement and to learn everything we can about your business to truly be an expert in your staffing needs. By the same token, we expect our client partners to provide a safe, harassment-free environment for our employees and to always be open and honest with us about changing business needs and with feedback about our performance. We understand we are an extension of your company, and with that comes the responsibility to be a company of integrity, character and loyalty.
