Build Your Reputation With an ASA Award—Submit Your Nominations Today

ASA members can now submit nominations for National Staffing Employee of the Year and the ASA Care Awards. There is no cost to enter, so ASA award programs offer cost-effective opportunities for staffing and recruiting firms and industry solutions providers to be nationally recognized for their commitment to excellence.

The National Staffing Employee of the Year program honors a current or former temporary or contract employee with an extraordinary story of staffing success and who best exemplifies one or more of the industry’s key messages of bridging, flexibility, and access to a new career.

The ASA Care Awards program recognizes outstanding social responsibility efforts by staffing firms and industry suppliers.

Learn more and submit your nomination at americanstaffing.net/awards. The deadline to enter both programs is May 2.
