   First, a little bit about Labor Finders International, the company I have been working for since 2008. Since 1975 Labor Finders International, Inc, a franchise company is the country’s oldest and largest privately held industrial labor staffing company in the United States. Labor Finders has received top honors in the ClearlyRated® Best of Staffing® Client competition for fourteen consecutive years since its inception in 2010. Labor Finders operates close to two hundred offices nationwide with a strong tradition of leadership as the country’s top name and resource in the business of temporary industrial staffing. As a proud member of the American Staffing Association, Labor Finders adheres to the Association’s Code of Ethics, which requires high standards of ethical conduct in dealings with employees, customers, and competitors. Labor Finders strength comes from the commitment of locally operated staffing offices that consistently satisfy their customers, while demonstrating their core values every day: Respect, Appreciation and Safety. Our mission statement says it all, that at Labor Finders, we are: “Changing lives through meaningful employment and partnerships.”As Labor Finders Public Relations Manager, it is exciting to utilize my extensive executive communications background, to implement comprehensive public relations, corporate communications, crisis communications and CSR programs designed to increase visibility and awareness for the brand. Worked closely developing the company websites. Wrote and produced award-winning videos. I also handle all Franchisee Engagements.
