Are You Ready for the Staffing Celebration? It’s Almost National Staffing Employee Week

National Staffing Employee Week, which takes place Sept. 9–15 this year, celebrates the contributions of the millions of individuals employed by U.S. staffing agencies. Staffing firms across the nation will host special events honoring their greatest asset—their temporary and contract employees.

To help staffing firms with their celebrations, ASA provides free materials for use throughout the week. Show your appreciation for temporary and contract employees with free promotional tools available at americanstaffing.net/nsew, including commemorative logos, social media post templates, media outreach resources, and more.

And stay tuned for the announcement of the 2025 National Staffing Employee of the Year and Sector All-Stars. This year, for the first time, finalists were announced in advance; the honorees will be revealed to ASA members and the public on the first day of National Staffing Employee Week—Monday, Sept. 9.
