It's National Employee Staffing Week! Here are some ideas on how to celebrate

From September 9 - 13, 2024, we are excited to celebrate the American Staffing Association’s National Employee Staffing Week!

What is National Employee Staffing Week?

The American Staffing Association's National Staffing Employee Week is a time to recognize and honor the nearly 13 million temporary and contract workers employed in virtually every occupation and industry in the labor market. While these individuals mostly support businesses on a short-term basis vs. long-term, such as full-time employees, their contributions are still very much appreciated and valued!

Whether you’re an HR Leader, hiring manager, or on a team working with temporary and contract employees, here are some fun ideas to show them that you value their contribution and are ready to celebrate this week!

Have a company kickoff event​

Start the week with a kickoff event that brings the whole organization together to acknowledge and celebrate these workers.

Give a shoutout of recognition

Whether it’s for a big company town hall, or even tagging them in a mention in a company newsletter or Slack, a little goes a long way to acknowledge and recognize these workers.

Send a personalized message

Whether you're an HR leader, their manager, or even a teammate, sending a note with a simple, "Thank you!" can go a long way to show your appreciation.

Block a lunch hour and pick up the tab

No, we don't necessarily mean a pizza party! Set a specific lunch meeting on their calendar so that they can enjoy a lunch or meal with no disruptions given by your organization!

SWAG! (or even personalized gifts)

"Stuff. We. All. Get."

But seriously! While their time with your organization may be short, the thoughtfulness of swag or even a Welcome Kit is a great idea!

Set aside time for fun, team-building

We know calendars get busy.

Set up a fun 20-30 minutes to play an online game that doesn't require hours taken away to plan so you all can put some fun in your days!

Let’s celebrate together and send our gratitude to these individuals all this week!
