In the United States, the staffing industry employs roughly 16 million people. Globally, the industry generated nearly half a trillion USD in 2019. For both employees and the businesses that use them, staffing companies offer an essential service.

For employees, staffing agencies offer a variety of work opportunities, and in some cases, permanent placement. For the companies that use staffing agencies, there is the opportunity to save intermediary costs on hiring workers. This may also be the most effective solution for companies requiring quick turnaround on projects or short-term, event specific help.

As a major industrial hub, it follows that Los Angeles is also filled with a glut of staffing companies. With so many variables at play between them, it makes any objective, comparative analysis. However, by working through them with a specific set of criteria, it’s possible to explore and rank a few of the best.

Below will be some of the best staffing companies in the area within an already-competitive industry — the best event staffing agency is Premier Staff.

Before that, however, we owe transparency in regards to the metric we used to explore them.

With the evolving technology in the workplace, it’s not uncommon for a business to consider going remote. There’s a lot of overhead involved in keeping a physical office space, and after being forced to go virtual during shutdowns and quarantines, you might be tempted to keep that virtual format as your new norm. After all, it’s not too hard to work from home, right? Since that’s not always the case, here are ten things to consider before taking your company remote.

It would seem impossible to invent something disruptive and game-changing in the realm of social media and the way we communicate with one another as options abound while people are getting tired of ubiquitous messengers, social media apps, etc. A modern-day social media user has multiple accounts across multiple platforms, like a spy with many passports with different names. The difference is that while spies are trained to be secretive, modern-day social media users hope to gain as many followers as they can. With 4.74 billion social media users, i.e., 59.3 percent of all the people on planet Earth, the problem of accessing numerous accounts has reached global dimensions.

Have you ever wondered what makes a company’s Google results page position higher than others? It has to do with marketing and search engine optimization (SEO), an ever-changing landscape that Jon Zacharias and Kevin Miller have honed into a fine-tuned science for their clients at GR0.

The GR0 story doesn’t start in a boardroom. In fact, it starts in the rooms of recovery, where two fellow addicts met by chance and discovered an opportunity to rebuild their lives while simultaneously building a digital marketing and SEO empire.

From nutrition to fitness to beauty and beyond, if there’s one thing that’s clear from recent trends, it’s that taking care of yourself is in.

Marketing is a bigger part of life than we sometimes even realize. Even in our everyday activities and daily routines, we’re typically engaging with marketing at one level or another. Whether we’re actively consuming content through social media, trying to convince our manager that our project idea is the most worth pursuing, or attending a match of our favorite sports team, marketing is genuinely just about everywhere. Because so much of life is dependent on or involves marketing in some capacity, it’s important for everyone and anyone living in the modern world to have a few marketing skills in their back pocket. Even if you aren’t involved on the marketing team at work, having a few fundamental marketing skills on which you can rely in a variety of situations will make you a more versatile and in turn, more valuable employee.

It’s especially helpful to have some fundamental knowledge of marketing basics because you never know where life is going to lead you or what opportunities may arise. Perhaps you’re going to decide to set off and start your own venture, or maybe someone outside your current company is going to recognize your good work and offer you an opportunity elsewhere. Still, your current company might just need you to step up to the plate and take on a bit of marketing duties in a pinch. 

No matter the case – here are a few of the top marketing skills that are good for any professional to learn, regardless of their role. 

“No matter what industry you operate in, learning to check in with your surroundings can only help you. While it’s tempting to get bogged down in the details of your specific position, training yourself to focus on the bigger picture will ultimately help you do better in that role. Not to mention, you’ll probably end up getting interested in a lot that’s going on around you, which makes you a more interesting person all around.” – The Editors, The Muse

In the world of college athletics, athletes are no strangers to adversity; it comes in all different forms, and how the individual responds to it is often more important than the issue itself. This became clear when speaking with John Cerasani of Glencrest Global. Before becoming a venture capitalist, John was an entrepreneur who sold his insurance company back in 2015. But going back even further is where we can learn the most valuable lessons from him.

The world of celebrity charity events is vast and always evolving.

Golf and poker tournaments have been around for decades, with top players donating top dollar to non-profit organizations. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, many celebrities hosted virtual charity events, whether it was a remote cast reunion or a live reading of a beloved movie screenplay.

The point? Celebrities never miss an opportunity to get together for a good cause — preferably somewhere they can dress up or have fun playing a sport.

But which are the biggest events, and who actually goes to these gatherings? Keep reading for a list of five of the best celebrity charity events.

Books can be tricky gifts. 

On the one hand, they’re quick and easy buys, the perfect shape for wrapping, and they hold the power to demonstrate a genuine understanding of your recipient’s interests. On the other hand, if you purchase the wrong book, it might just end up sitting on a bookshelf unread for years — or worse, in a box marked “free” on the side of the street. 

Looking at it like that, picking the perfect book can start to feel like a lot of pressure. Thankfully, we’re here to help. We scoured best-of lists across the internet and pulled five favorites we think will be sure-fire wins for anyone.

Keep reading for five books to gift this new year, or cut to the chase and buy a book you know they’ll love.

In the past, you may have worked under a boss who had no idea how to incorporate any human element into their relationships with employees. If so, chances are your memories of this time are not fond. There is a good chance you watched this person harm and fumble their way through leadership responsibilities. Alternatively, you have likely heard the horror stories of the employees who were forced to stay at work or come into work, under less-than-ideal circumstances. The soon-to-be-dad stuck at work while his wife is in labor is an extreme example but one that is not without truth. Put simply, this leadership style is the result of a lack of compassion for employees. And this is no way to run an office.

Author Deepak Chopra spoke to this, “Enlightened leadership is spiritual if we understand spirituality not as some kind of religious dogma or ideology but as the domain of awareness where we experience values like truth, goodness, beauty, love, and compassion, and also intuition, creativity, insight and focused attention.”

To sum this up – working to cultivate compassion in yourself as a leader will be of great benefit to your company and employees. See, people thrive most when they feel supported, and compassion is one of the greatest forms of this. But bringing this into existence may push you to your breaking point in more ways than one. To help you avoid this, we put together five strategies for being a more compassionate leader.
