Can you offer solutions for the challenges that staffing firms face today? ASA is looking for experts in the staffing, recruiting, and workforce solutions industry to share their experience and expertise at Staffing World®, the ASA annual convention and expo, which this year takes place Oct. 25–27 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Industry experts, and business professionals in other disciplines pertinent to the staffing industry, should submit proposals for Breakout Sessions (concurrent, interactive sessions between 45 and 75 minutes long), Knowledge Hub Technology Talks (10-minute talks on technology topics important to the industry), or other Knowledge Hub Talks (10-minute talks on general topics important to the industry).
ASA also is accepting proposals for ASA webinars. For more information and to start your submission, visit americanstaffing.net/presenters. The deadline for ASA webinar and Staffing World Breakout Session proposals is March 31, and the deadline for Staffing World Knowledge Hub talks is May 31.
Is your firm prepared for the potential risks that come with class-action lawsuits? The ASA Legal Line monthly video series features a member of the association’s legal team and addresses critical legal, regulatory, and legislative topics that have direct implications for your business. In the latest installment, ASA general counsel Brittany Sakata discusses the tools and resources staffing firms need—including class-action waivers and arbitration agreements—and the newly passed Ending Forced Arbitration of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Act, which could affect the way staffing firms utilize waivers and arbitration agreements.
Watch the latest ASA Legal Line video on ASA Central. The ASA Legal Line monthly video series is sponsored by Essential StaffCARE, an ASA corporate partner.
Even during this pandemic, one of the top issues of concern to staffing and recruiting professionals is growing their talent pipeline and overcoming the ongoing talent shortage. Communicating to job seekers in a way that resonates with them and captures their interest has never been more critical.
ASA conducted extensive research to understand the mindset of today’s job seeker and has created an online course in conjunction with the New Language of Staffing research and resulting strategies. The course—exclusively for staffing professionals with ASA member firms—features video modules, online quizzes, and more. ASA-certified professionals who complete the course can earn continuing education hours toward ASA certification renewal.

As part of a global endeavor to help employees return safely to work amid the pandemic, ASA launched the Safely Back to Work initiative to lead efforts in the U.S. The initiative and the website at americanstaffing.net/safelybacktowork website are based on the association’s work with the World Employment Confederation, Adecco Group, ManpowerGroup, and Randstad NV.
The result is an online collection of safety-focused resources for employers and a high-profile pledge to the safety of all employees who are returning to job sites.
ASA urges all of its members to download and use the free resources and take the pledge.
