Corporate Vision May 2017

CORPORATE VISION / May 2017 41 , Lisa Hutchinson, President & CEO of AllStaff Inc. was recently awarded Canadian CEO of the Month - Employment Sector; Lisa shares her thoughts on being an award-winning leader and how she motivates the staff who don’t just work for her, but along side her. The Power of a Job Well Done At AllStaff Inc., we believe in the power of a job well done. We believe in people. We are a boutique staffing company who helps connect top talent with top corporations across Canada and the United States. We are industry leaders in the staffing industry, providing direct hire, executive search, and temporary/ contract staffing to companies of all sizes within a wide range of industries. As a company, we have over 120 years of experience in staffing and human resources, and we put that experience to work every day. As the President & CEO of AllStaff Inc., I am very grateful to have won the Canadian CEO of the Month - Employment Sector award. When I started AllStaff in 2000, I was the only employee. I made job offers from my hospital bed the day after delivering my youngest daughter. Failure was not an option. Today, we sit at just over 50,000 employees across all offices in Canada and the USA – the same employees who have made AllStaff Inc. a success. Simply put, we would not be the award-winning company we are today without them. The key to being an award- winning CEO is going above and beyond. Whether it be for our employees or clients - setting the bar so high - others strive to follow suit. I pride myself in hiring the best and the brightest in our industry. The best possible thing a great CEO can do is have faith in the skills of their employees. It is, after all, the reason why we hire them. At AllStaff, we continually strive to exceed our employee relations strategy. It is my belief that an organization with a strong employee relations program provides fair and consistent treatment to all employees; recognizing their strengths while encouraging both personal and professional growth. The AllStaff team, in each office across North America, have a passion for the industry, something that simply cannot be taught; we truly want to make a difference. This was confirmed earlier this year when AllStaff Inc. was named the ‘Best Full-Service Recruitment Firm’ at the 2017 Canadian Business Awards. Many of the people we help are living in our neighbourhoods. These people’s children attend the same schools as our children do; they shop at the same grocery stores and ride the same transit lines. They are the core of our communities. Our clients, large and small, rely on us to provide them with the best candidates for their company’s needs and culture. We interview hundreds of candidates each week, accepting applications from hundreds more. Our approach is simple, we believe in what we do. We put people to work. My future aspirations for AllStaff Inc. are the same as those of my employees; continue putting people to work. Our business plan includes opening AllStaff Inc. locations across Canada and the northern United States, while strengthening relationships in the communities we currently operate in. We are a team of men and women who love nothing more than hot coffee, and helping someone acquire their dream job. So, let’s get to work. Company: AllStaff Inc.
