René Poch founder and CEO of Trillium Staffing, recently announced that Trillium had recently been recognized for several new accomplishments in 2016. Those recognitions included:
While the economy is remaining strong, many small businesses in the United States are still struggling to grow their business. One of the biggest challenges facing business leaders today, is recruiting qualified candidates.
In a recent survey conducted by Indeed with small businesses, 97% of respondents reported difficulty in hiring the right candidate at least occasionally. While even the nation’s largest employers are fighting to attract top talent, small businesses experience a different set of challenges that can increase the difficulty in recruiting, even for lesser skilled positions. A few of their challenges include:
Recently, Trillium was awarded one of the National Best and Brightest Companies to Work for in 2015. To ensure that all 90+ branches nationwide share in the triumph, the award is being sent to a different Trillium branch office every month. In an expression of true teamwork, the present branch holding the award will nominate the next branch in line based on merit and hard work.
Do you really know what is going on in your workplace? In a 2015 survey by CareerBuilder, employers revealed the strangest non-work related activities that they’ve caught their staff engaging in on the job. You don’t want to miss these!
Like many things if clear and concise expectations are not set up, casual Friday’s can quickly become too casual. As many as 90% of companies in the U.S. have a “casual” day, with one third allowing casual clothing every day. The key to maintaining a professional environment while allowing casual attire is a clear expectation of what is acceptable, preferably included in the employee handbook.
While IT and Technical positions have been among the hardest to fill for the past several years, some changing trends are adding influence to the difficulty to fill within the industry. Dice recently released a list of the Top 10 Hardest to Fill Tech Jobs based on feedback from more nearly 400 HR and recruiting professionals.
While agreements between employers and their partnering staff firms often vary, most often the responsibility for Worker’s Compensation claims falls on the staffing firm for contract or temporary placements. However, if you partner with staffing firms to provide you with contract or temporary workers you share in the responsibility for their safety. Not sure what your responsibilities may be? Here’s what OSHA has to say!
Trillium Staffing is excited to announce their recognition within the National Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in 2015! For the past 3 years Trillium Staffing has had repeated recognition with West Michigan’s 101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For, but this is the first year with National recognition! The awards competition provides the national business community with the opportunity to showcase their best practices and demonstrate why they are an ideal place for employees to work. The awards are presented to organizations based on nominations and direct feedback from employees of each organization.
With the holiday season quickly approaching, it’s hard for us not to reflect on the long list of things we have to be thankful for again this year! Without question, 2015 has been a banner year for us as an organization, as professionals, and as a team. Enjoy a slideshow of our highlights and as we take this long weekend to spend with friends and family!
Our offices will be closed on Thanksgiving Day and the following. We look forward to hearing from you next week!
