Covid-19 has everyone adapting to the new realities of working from home. That doesn’t mean you have to be cut off from the staffing community and the resources that can help you do your important work.
Visit americanstaffing.net and provide ASA with your home address. It will be used to keep you updated on industry news, resources, and events—ASA will not share it with any third parties.
As an experienced staffing professional, you have the grit, expertise, and people skills to own a staffing business. And with Express Employment Professionals’ exclusive program for industry professionals, you’ll have the financing to help make business ownership a reality. You bring the skill. We’ll bring the capital. Get started today!
How do employees feel about getting safely back to work? In the July–August issue of Staffing Success magazine, get data from the latest ASA Workforce Monitor survey on what companies can do to ease the transition back to work and help employees feel safe.
Access the current issue and back issues of Staffing Success, and other ASA digital publications, at americanstaffing.net/digital.
As part of a global endeavor to help employees return safely to work amid the pandemic, ASA has launched the Safely Back to Work initiative to lead efforts in the U.S. The initiative and new website at americanstaffing.net/safelybacktowork is 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.
Once you submit your pledge to safety, your name and company name will appear in a real-time leaderboard on the page. Share your commitment on social media channels and encourage your colleagues to do the same. The Safely Back to Work site provides a variety of graphics for use on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and ASA Central. Use the hashtag #SafelyBackToWork and tag @StaffingTweets.
The next few weeks will be full of free education from ASA. These upcoming ASA webinars can help you understand the implications of the upcoming national elections, the current state of the staffing industry, and more.

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 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.
