This week, September 13-19, we’re joining the American Staffing Association in celebrating National Staffing Employee Week! JOHNLEONARD is proud to take this opportunity to honor and recognize the many contributions of our amazing Temporary Staffing Representatives. We continue to support and thank all of our employees who have been deemed essential during COVID-19 and appreciate your hard work and efforts to keep our community safe and healthy.

March is Women’s History Month, which is a great time to celebrate women in the workforce, and particularly, the women in your organization. Every year, we honor Women’s History in March and reflect on the impact women have had in the past, present, and what women are doing to make the future a better place for all. As part of Women’s History Month, March 8^th is designated as International Women’s Day, where achievements by women from all around the world are celebrated.

We have so much to be thankful for this year, most of all for YOU! We want to share our genuine appreciation to our hardworking team members, candidate network, loyal Temporary Representatives, and our incredible client organizations. Without your support through the trials of this year, we would not be where we are today.

During this special week, we are celebrating National Staffing Employee Week by honoring the many contributions of JOHNLEONARD’s remarkable Temporary Staff Representatives. Although this year has presented its many challenges, one thing is for certain, our Temporary Representatives have continued to show us patience, flexibility, positivity, persistence, and unwavering commitment to us.

Wrapping up the end of a recession-free decade

The U.S. labor market in 2019 can be described as historically record-breaking.  It surpassed Economists' predictions, reflected a surge of strength, and has been the greatest job market since the late 1990s. For an entire decade, the first time in history, there was no report of an economic recession. The unemployment rate in December 2019 dipped to a half-century low (3.5%), the lowest it’s been since September 1969. And the economy has been stable and steady for 126 consecutive months, adding thousands of jobs in a variety of sectors, including health care, professional and business services, manufacturing, transportation, and much more.

As 2019 comes to a close, take a look back at our top blog content that was viewed this year. It’s our goal to consistently provide our community of readers with the best career advice, resume tips, networking information, and much more. Before the New Year (and decade) begins, review our posts and make sure you subscribe to our blog to receive our newest blogs throughout 2020!

This past Friday, the JOHNLEONARD Team celebrated another successful year (and 50^th year) at our annual holiday party. We started the eventful day with a champagne toast and breakfast in the office. Next, we headed to Tuscan Kitchen in the Seaport where we enjoyed delicious hors d’oeuvres and cocktails and each got a caricature drawing of ourselves. We continued the fun in a festive private room where we played an amusing game of “Who am I?”, a competitive Yankee Swap, and enjoyed an excellent three-course Italian lunch. In honor of our 50^th anniversary, a 50” smart TV was raffled off! Cori was the lucky winner who got to take the TV home.

Here at JOHNLEONARD, we are giving thanks to many this holiday season, especially this year as we reflect on the past remarkable fifty years of business. To our devoted team members, talented candidate network, our hardworking Temporary Representatives and to our loyal client organizations, we thank you immensely. Throughout the past half-century, we are extremely grateful for the community that supports JOHNLEONARD. We truly value your relationship and wouldn’t be here without you!

It’s National Staffing Employee Week, and JOHNLEONARD is proud to take this opportunity to celebrate and honor the many contributions of our amazing Temporary Staff Representatives. We cannot thank our employees enough for their hard work and dedication over the past year.

Last night, for our annual summer outing, the entire JOHNLEONARD Team buried the hatchet at Urban Axes in Somerville.
