Nearly two million temporary and contract employees report for work every week in offices, factories, health care facilities, warehouses, and other job sites across the U.S.—wherever there’s important work to be done, temporary and contract employees are on the job. Meet some of these extraordinary staffing employees and learn about them so you can share their stories when talking with clients.

Every temporary or contract employee has a unique story: work background, career goals, skills and talents, and hopes and dreams. Each took a different path to the staffing and recruiting industry, and each has reaped unique benefits. Browse through dozens of stories from ASA member agencies at americanstaffing.net.

The American Staffing Association strives to provide programs and services that exceed your expectations. The association’s annual member satisfaction survey is now open, and this is your opportunity for you to tell ASA how it’s doing. Your participation is critical in helping ASA learn what is important to you and how well the association is serving you.

ASA members should have received a link to the short survey, which should take less than five minutes to complete. Responses are due June 27, and you could win one of five $100 Amazon gift cards when you complete the survey. If you have questions or did not receive a survey link, contact Tim Hulley at 703-253-1154 or thulley@americanstaffing.net.

Staffing firms increasingly face client demands to be indemnified against various types of liability, but companies should not assume risks related to their client’s business and should not take on liability for the client’s own products and services.

To help staffing companies protect themselves, ASA developed a tool kit containing various resources to help staffing firms that face unreasonable client indemnification demands.

The tool kit includes resources such as a risk philosophy document you can share with clients, suggested contract language, articles, a presentation slide deck, and more—access the ASA Indemnity Tool Kit at americanstaffing.net.
