ASA and ClearlyRated, the association’s satisfaction survey partner, will present the second ASA State of the Industry webinar of 2022 on Thursday, June 30, 2–3 p.m. Eastern time.

With tightening labor markets, high inflation, and unprecedented levels of employee turnover, how can your firm sustain growth? Eric Gregg of ClearlyRated will look at new research on what clients and talent want from their staffing partners and how firms can take advantage of the data. Plus, former Kelly executive Teresa Carroll will share lessons from more than 20 years as a leader in the industry and a unique perspective from her current focus working with firms to help them unlock growth in a sustainable, equitable fashion.

All ASA webinars are free for ASA members, and most qualify for continuing education hours toward ASA certification renewal. To learn more and to register, visit americanstaffing.net.

In observance of Juneteenth National Independence Day, ASA headquarters will be closed Monday, June 20. Staffing Today will return Tuesday, June 21.

Looking for real-time data on staffing employment? The ASA Staffing Index reports weekly changes in the number of people employed in temporary and contract work, now including data on staffing starts (new assignments). The data will help your firm evaluate its performance against a national metric on both a weekly and long-term basis.

All staffing firms with U.S. operations are invited to participate in the ASA Staffing Index survey. Every Tuesday, participants receive an email with the results of the weekly survey, including figures by company size, and access to historical data and new dynamic charts. These data, which are not available anywhere else, allow staffing firms to compare how their business is doing on a weekly basis relative to similarly sized firms in the industry. There are no fees to participate in the five-question survey.

Don’t get stuck with outdated or unreliable data—sign up to participate in the ASA Staffing Index and receive the most up-to-date information about the staffing industry. For more information about the index, visit americanstaffing.net/staffing-index.
