Thank You Hays County!

What a tremendous honor to be voted “Best of Hays for 2011” in the San Marcos Daily Record’s annual reader’s survey. We work extremely hard to provide our clients, applicants and employees with an exceptional employment experience, and it is truly rewarding to have those efforts validated by the very people we serve.

As a staffing company, being named the Best Place to Work is particularly gratifying. We are fortunate to have many wonderful clients who share our commitment to quality employment. Being recognized as the Best Place to Work is an honor that we share with each of them as it reflects the quality working environments at the many great companies where the majority of our employees choose to work.

These wonderful honors from the readers of the San Marcos Daily Record validate our long standing belief in the Priority Philosophy that implores us to grow our company by building long-term relationships based on top-quality service, high ethical standards and innovative solutions. “Simply put,” says Dan Roy, CEO, “we want to be the number one choice of talent and those who seek it.”

In a recent national customer satisfaction survey conducted by the independent research firm Inavero, Priority Personnel was named to the 2012 Best of Staffing list after achieving a Net Promoter Score of 90.9% which Inavero called “truly exceptional”. By comparison, in the same type of survey, two highly regarded companies, Apple and Southwest Airlines achieved scores of 77% and 51% respectively.

None of these awards would be possible if not for the wonderful staff we have at Priority, a remarkable team of professionals, each of whom shares a sense of personal dedication to delivering the highest level of service to our clients and employees.

Again, thank you from all of us at Priority Personnel. We are truly honored, and as we enter our 19^th year in San Marcos, we will continue to work to remain your preferred choice among staffing firms and your favorite place to work!

If there’s one thing you can be certain of in 2012, it’s change.

Issues like the fragile economy, looming elections and changing employment legislation make it more difficult than ever to predict what will happen in the next year – let alone the next month.  Constant changes in your workload and available labor only compound your challenges.  As such, a staffing approach that worked for you in the past may not prove as effective this year.

This doesn’t mean you’re out of luck; it just means that you may need to re-examine your staffing strategy.  So start 2012 off right.  Consider these staffing best practices which have proven effective for corporate human resources executives across the country, courtesy of workforce.com:

• Make sure the staffing partner has an adequate balance sheet. Given the relatively low barriers to entry, it is too common to see staffing companies struggle financially.
• Be sure the staffing partner has sufficient size and financial resources to manage the contract. Sourcing 100 or more contract workers on an ongoing basis requires a very different type of staffing organization than providing two or three temps at a time.
• Visit the local office of the staffing company as part of the due-diligence process, especially for large projects, to make sure the operation meets expectations.
• Give your staffing partner feedback on all candidates that you review to help refine the recruiting strategy, and make it easier to find the best candidates.
• Be open-minded about “teachable” candidates, especially for hard-to-fill skill sets. Candidates who are a strong cultural fit and possess transferable skills are likely to succeed and thrive with some training and support.
• Provide enough training, rewards and feedback to keep temps engaged and motivated. One employer notes that small rewards—a free lunch for good performance, for example—go a long way toward winning the loyalty of temps.
• Beware of unfair negative stereotypes about the quality of temp workers. Temps can be—and often are—as qualified as full-time employees, and their skills can be equally useful.
