Staffing World^® 2020 takes place Oct. 19–22—right on your computer or other device. This year, the ASA annual convention and expo will be an immersive virtual experience where you can connect with staffing peers and get resources you can use to grow your business during more than 30 educational sessions, including “Five Trends That Will Outlast Covid-19 and Accelerate Your 2021 Recovery.”

Eric Gregg of ASA corporate partner ClearlyRated will share key findings from surveys of more than 1,800 clients, job candidates, and internal staff. He will present five data-backed trends that will outlast the current pandemic and economic uncertainty and should be a part of your strategic plan going forward.

ASA-certified professionals can earn up to 12 hours of continuing education toward certification renewal by participating in workshops and other content sessions. Get more information and register online at staffingworld.net.
