			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Thank You Hays County!</span></strong></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">What a tremendous honor to be voted “Best of Hays for 2011” in the San Marcos Daily Record’s annual reader’s survey.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> 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. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">As a staffing company, b</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">eing 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. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">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.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">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. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">None of these awards would be possible if not for the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">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. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Again, than</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">k you from all of us at Priority Personnel. We are truly honored, and as we enter our 19</span><sup><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">th</span></sup><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"> year in San Marcos, we will continue to work to remain your preferred choice among staffing firms and your favorite place to work! </span></p>

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</span></p>
<p><strong><br />
Priority Personnel, Inc. Makes Inavero’s 2012 Best of Staffing™ Client List<br />
</strong><br />
Priority Personnel announced February 23, 2012 that it has been named to Inavero’s 2012 Best of Staffing™ Client list. Best of Staffing, presented in partnership with CareerBuilder, is the nation’s only award that recognizes staffing firms that receive remarkable reviews from their clients. Fewer than 1% of North American staffing firms have been named to the 2012 Best of Staffing Client List.</p>
<p>“This wonderful honor validates 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,” said Dan Roy, CEO. “Simply put, we want to be the number one choice of talent and those who seek it.”</p>
<p>Staffing firms competing to make the Best of Staffing list underwent a rigorous client survey process followed by careful analysis of responses to determine satisfaction levels. Priority Personnel received satisfaction ratings of 9 or 10 out of 10 from 90.9 percent of their clients, significantly higher than the industry’s average of 50 percent. Best of Staffing participants secured a place on the list by earning an average Net Promoter Score that was nearly double the national staffing industry benchmark for client satisfaction.</p>
<p>“The staffing industry continues to play a key role in helping to revitalize the economy,” said Eric Gregg, Inavero’s Founder and CEO.  “Staffing firms give growth-minded organizations a more flexible alternative to recruiting their own employees, letting both the employee and employer determine if the fit is right for a more permanent position.  Both sides receive tremendous value in a flexible, yet meaningful working relationship, and as they engage with staffing firms to help achieve those goals, the service experience they have is very important to their success. The Best of Staffing lists are a resource for businesses and talent who are trying to find staffing firms that provide exceptional service.”</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If there&#8217;s one thing you can be certain of in 2012, it&#8217;s change.</p>
<p>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 &#8211; 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.</p>
<p>This doesn&#8217;t mean you&#8217;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 <a title="Workforce.com - Successful Staffing Strategies" href="http://www.workforce.com/article/20110926/NEWS02/110929981#" target="_blank">workforce.com</a>:</p>
<ul>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>Be  open-minded about &#8220;teachable&#8221; 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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
<li>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.</li>
