Celebrating Our Staffing Stars: Why National Staffing Employee Week Matters to You
Happy National Staffing Employee Week! This annual occasion is an opportunity for employers to show you, our staffing associates, just how much we appreciate you. We know you work hard, you give the job your all, and you bring so much value to our client companies—and you deserve to be recognized for that! This week and throughout the year, Integrity Staffing Solutions believes that no matter the type of employee you are—whether you’re new to the company, a long-time contributor, or a temporary associate—you’re making a difference.
What National Staffing Employee Week Is All About
National Staffing Employee Week, held this year from Sept. 9-15, was created by the American Staffing Association. The ASA says the event is designed for employers to show their “greatest asset”—their temporary and contract workers—how much they appreciate them. For some temporary associates, recognition for their hard work could be hard to come by, as many organizations have designed performance management and employee recognition programs tailored to full-time, permanent workers. National Staffing Employee Week, however, embraces the reality that millions of non-traditional workers are driving success every day at American organizations, and everyone should be celebrating staffing associates!
Who Are Our Staffing Stars?
To show our associates how much they mean to us at Integrity Staffing Solutions, we share the success stories of our Staffing Stars organization-wide! What makes a Staffing Star? These are associates who consistently stand out! They are dependable, hard-working, and bring a positive attitude to their team and employer.
While our temporary associates embody these and other traits that are core to our mission, they also all bring unique qualities. Associates come from varying backgrounds and have different experiences that have armed them with distinctive skill sets—and, together, that diversity is what enables our workforces to problem-solve and innovate.
Why We Celebrate Our Associates
Organizations today need to be adaptable and flexible—and that’s where you, our staffing associates, come in! As businesses grow and evolve to respond to everything from economic changes to customer demands, it’s increasingly critical that they think outside the box when it comes to talent. Today’s leading organizations need to quickly scale and change workforce size to drive innovation and profitability, and temporary talent is the key.
The ASA estimates that about 2.4 million temporary and contract associates work in the U.S. each week. o Real-life examples of how associates have made a difference in various industries.
Working in a temporary capacity can bring with it some unique challenges. Often, these roles require talent to learn fast and dive right in—working hard and consistently while being willing to adapt and be flexible. We see you! We know how much you bring to the job and how important your work is to the company’s success.
That’s why we strive to create a work environment for temporary employees that is inclusive and supportive and will help you feel engaged in your work and your team. You do so much for us—and we want to do the same for you! That includes leading-edge temporary staffing benefits like:
- Full medical and dental coverage that is active after your very first shift
- A company 401(k) program for eligible associates
- Supportive services like inclusion in our Employee Assistance Program and assistance with housing
- Access to your earned wages through the convenient tool PayActiv
- Comprehensive training and ongoing development opportunities

We also will honor one particular standout, Dorina Olloni, who recently won the American Staffing Association’s 2025 National Staffing Employee All-Star Award for the Clerical and Administrative sector! She was selected for this tremendous honor out of 2.4 million temporary and contract workers—a testament to just how outstanding she is! Dorina is a real-life example of the potential that abounds in the staffing industry: She started with Integrity Staffing Solutions in a seasonal role, developed the skills and expertise she was looking for, and has now moved into a permanent position at her employer, JPMorgan.
If you want to share your own staffing success stories this week, engage with us across social media and through company communications! We want to hear, amplify and celebrate your work.
The Long-Term Value of Temporary Staffing
While temporary associates help our clients unlock their potential, workers also benefit! Like Dorina, associates can get their foot in the door at leading employers, making connections, learning the culture, and developing the skills that could help them foster career growth in staffing. When leaders see that you invested in putting forth high-quality work, it can leave an impression that could create pathways to the career you envision for yourself.
Other temporary staffing benefits include the empowering experience of knowing you’re playing a direct role in shaping your company’s path! Temporary staff members like yourself bring efficiency, continuity, and a ton of valuable skills to our clients’ businesses, enabling innovation today and into the future. At Integrity, we know how important you are to our clients’ success, and so our business centers on an associate-first approach: Your satisfaction matters most to us.
