The Most Dangerous Jobs in America /blog/the-most-dangerous-jobs-in-america/ Wed, 24 Jun 2015 12:51:37 +0000 /blog/?p=2592 Continue reading ]]> Each job has its own set of inherent hazards however, some are far more dangerous than others. Safety programs, trainings, and strong supervision can play a major factor in the overall safety of a job and workplace environment. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported more than 4,400 deaths were caused by injuries in the workplace in the United States in 2013. Let’s take a look at the deadliest jobs and what their biggest hazards are.

1. Logging Workers- With a number of constantly changing factors including job location, surrounding hazards, wind speed, and less than predictable falling directions; logging workers have no doubt a dangerous occupation.

2. Fishing Related Occupations– Dangerous weather conditions, faulty equipment, and drownings all add to the safety threat for this group.

3. Aircraft Pilots and Flight Engineers– Despite technology improvements and state of the art equipment, mechanical issues and inclement weather add to the dangers of the job.

4. Roofers– Improper use of PPE, extreme heights, faulty equipment, slips, falls, and dangerous job sites all add to the injury exposure for roofers.

5. Structural Iron and Steel Workers- Working at extreme heights while handling heavy materials, these employees have a large exposure to falls, slips, crushes, and welding related injuries.

Regardless of your occupation finding the appropriate PPE, safety training, and identifying hazards are key to remaining safe on the job. Even those working in seemingly “safe” jobs can be injured when not following safety protocol and being aware of  their surroundings.

Temporary Employee Wages Upwards of $100/hr! /blog/temporary-employee-wages-upwards-of-100hr/ Mon, 15 Jun 2015 15:31:03 +0000 /blog/?p=2623 Continue reading ]]> Want a glimpse into the life of a current staffing employee? The 2014 Staffing Employee Survey conducted by the American Staffing Association, revealed insight into temporary employees’ satisfaction and compensation levels.

staffing-employee-occupations-oct2014

The survey revealed that the average temporary employee was making more than $17 per hour, many making more than $100 per hour. The increase in wages has a direct correlation to the swing in occupations that are being filled by staffing agencies today. More than a third of all staffing employees are working in higher skilled occupations, helping to drive their increase in wages. In addition to wages, the survey reported that 9 out of 10 employees reported being satisfied with their staffing company.

Meet the Trillium Team: Zach Mayner /blog/meet-the-trillium-team-zach-mayner/ Fri, 12 Jun 2015 15:14:59 +0000 /blog/?p=2607 Continue reading ]]> Zach Mayner joined the Trillium Staffing team in early 2015. In his current role as a Recruiter, Zach’s primary goal is to locate the nation’s top level talent for a multitude of professional and skilled positions. Responsible for supporting multiple Account Managers, with a diverse set of clients, maintaining a constant pipeline of candidates in several different roles and industries is key to Zach’s position.

Zach Mayner

Zach Maynor (middle) assisted in disaster relief efforts in May 2013, fueling a career change.

Prior to joining the team at Trillium, Zach graduated from Purdue University with a degree in Selling and Sales Management, Minor in Organizational Leadership, and a Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation. He initially began his career working for an independent insurance agency; selling commercial property and casualty insurance. In May 2013 Zach traveled to Moore, Oklahoma to assist with tornado relief efforts following an F-5 tornado; which destroyed the town. Seeing first hand how insurance companies handled claims gave him a new perspective on his career.

“Seeing first hand how insurance companies handled claims put a really bad taste in my mouth when it came to selling insurance. I had a really hard time selling a product I wasn’t passionate about. I’m very passionate about helping people. What attracted me to this organization was the product we sell. We sell people. For me, there’s not a better feeling than helping a candidate find a career, or a company fill a position.” stated Zach Mayner, Recruiter.

 

With the demand continuing to climb for talent, Zach’s career is a busy one. His fast paced days involve seeking out passive candidates, conducting interviews, seeking out referrals from his current candidate pool, and working to negotiate mutually beneficial employment opportunities for both his candidates and his clients. His job openings range from Operations Managers to CNC Programmers, requiring him to have a strong ability to multi-task.

Coupling his passion for assisting others and his educational background, Zach is in the process of starting a not-for-profit for disaster relief efforts. He also enjoys spending his free time hunting, fishing, golfing, boating, camping, snow boarding, and attending Detroit Lions football games with his father.
