ASA recognizes that one of the top issues keeping staffing and recruiting professionals up at night is growing their talent pipeline amid an ongoing talent shortage. Communicating to job seekers in a way that resonates and captures their interests has never been more critical.
The association conducted extensive research to understand the mindset of today’s job seeker and developed the “New Language of Staffing” online course exclusively for staffing professionals with ASA member firms. The course features video modules, online quizzes, and more. It’s part of the “Fundamentals of Recruiting” online course module in the ASA Onboarding Series on ASA Learn. ASA-certified professionals who complete the course earn 0.5 hours of continuing education toward ASA certification renewal.

June is National Safety Month, and the National Safety Council is offering free materials to keep your workers engaged in safety preparations. The theme for this week is “Address Ongoing Covid-19 Safety Concerns.” As the pandemic continues, employers play an important role in expanding operations and returning remote workers to physical workspaces, building trust around vaccines, supporting mental health, and much more.
Protecting temporary worker safety and well-being is a top priority for ASA, and the association is proud to partner with NSC in promoting the 25th anniversary of National Safety Month.
ASA and ClearlyRated, the association’s satisfaction survey partner, will present the second ASA State of the Industry webinar of 2021 on Tuesday, June 29, 3–4 p.m. Eastern time.
More than a year past the industry’s Covid-19-induced contraction, many firms are back on a trajectory of growth, effectively navigating economic uncertainty to serve clients, talent, and internal staff better than ever. Get strategies for accelerating your firm’s growth, as well as the latest industry research and legislative updates to keep you compliant and growing.

As part of its continued effort to support staffing firms’ response to Covid-19, ASA has launched the Vaccine Literacy Resources for Staffing Firms web page. The site provides valuable downloads and links employers can use to engage and educate workers about Covid-19 vaccines. ASA partnered with the Health Action Alliance to share these free resources, including a quick-start guide, sample communications, vaccine FAQs, a social media tool kit, and more.
Research shows that businesses and employers are a trusted source of information and are well-suited to advance vaccine literacy efforts. The vaccine literacy site also links to National Safety Council resources, developed by NSC’s “SAFER: Safe Actions for Employee Returns” taskforce.
Visit the Vaccine Literacy Resources page today and check back regularly for updates—ASA will post new resources as they become available.
