Happy National Staffing Employee Week!

Did you know there's an entire week dedicated to the celebrating contributions of temporary and contract employees? There is, and it's now: September 19th – 25th. Across the country, the American Staffing Association (ASA) and staffing companies like ours will be holding events and festivities especially for this important sector of the American workforce.

#StaffingStars

The ASA is announcing its 2017 National Staffing Employee of the Year award on September 19th. This year for the first time it will also recognize finalists in each employment sector: engineering, information technology and scientific; health care; industrial; office/clerical and administrative; and professional/managerial. We've nominated one of our own Integrity Staffing associates, who we believe is incredibly deserving of the honor. Let's see what happens!

Integrity Staffing will announce our own Employee of the Year on Wednesday, September 21st. It was hard to choose from so many outstanding individuals!

Throughout the week, you can read about more of our #StaffingStars and their inspiring personal stories on our website and Facebook page.

Why staffing employees rock.

Temporary and contract workers fill a vital need in today's economy, not just here in the U.S. but worldwide. The greater need for flexibility on the part of both workers and companies is driving remarkable growth. A couple of statistics:

Approx. 16 million temporary employees hired per year

44% increase in total staffing industry sales between 2009 and 2015

We believe this is not just a trend in response to the recent recession. Rather, it reflects a fundamental shift in the way people think about their lives and careers. Whether it's to acquire top level skills or stay on top of rapidly evolving markets, businesses are finding that their best option is contract workers.

We see this type of employment as the way towards a very bright future. And we'd like to take this opportunity to thank our associates and clients for helping us all get there together.

In this article, we'll explore the benefits and uses of predictive analytics. Basically, predictive analytics is the process of looking at past data in order to determine what will happen in the future. Machine learning automates much of this activity, freeing up recruiting professionals for higher level work of in-person interviews, decision making, and so on.

AI in HR: Facilitating Flexible Scheduling

In our new study "Artificial Intelligence for Recruiting Success," we discussed ways that new technology can save us time and effort while attracting a better pool of job candidates. In this article, we'll turn our attention to a tool that helps provide one of candidates' most desired job benefits, while requiring minimal time and effort on our part. Work-life balance and the flexible schedule appear to be here to stay. Surveys show that 77% of Millennials1 and 51% of Generation Z2 prefer flexible working hours. In fact, some experts predict that the traditional 9-to-5 job will be pretty much dead by 20303. The good news for businesses is that giving employees flexibility does increase morale, overall work hours and productivity;4 and if most employees telecommute, it reduces the need for expensive corporate office space. The bad news is that it can be a logistical nightmare. That's where artificial intelligence comes in. Here are some types of software5 you may...
