ACCU STAFFING
recruit people in new places. At times, they
even held hiring events. From that idea has
sprung true, modernized, mobile staffing
vehicles.
A key area of focus for ACCU Staffing is the
reduction of turnover. This helps not only
ACCU Staffing but also their clients and
employees as well:
• For ACCU, it reduces costs. Placing
people in the right positions the
first time brings costs down across
the board and also helps ACCU’s
reputation.
• For employees, it saves the time and
energy of having to retrain themselves
for different positions. Finding the
right fit from the start is always going
to be better than having to shift
around from position to position
looking for the right one.
• For customers, the same thing is
true. Time is saved, money is saved on
training, and satisfaction is improved
by having the right people in the right
roles from the beginning.
How is turnover reduced? By education,
to start. Companies will explain their
needs and then proper training will be
created for them, whether that is through
dedicated rooms for specific tasks, filmed
videos of workplaces and environments,
or going through safety training and
appropriate attire. By preparing employees
for what they will actually encounter in
the workplace, it significantly improves the
chances that they will better fill positions
that they are placed into.
Another way that ACCU sets themselves
apart is their biannual barbeque. During
these events, the family pitches in to
purchase food and cook for all of the
employees that work for them. It’s a way of
giving back. Half of the employees will run
the office for one day while the other half
attend, then the two switch the next day.
In the modern work environment, small
things like this set the company apart
and allow employees to feel like they are
actually cared for.
Sadly, Doris passed away 2 years
ago. Her daughter Elaine M. Damm
is now the CEO of ACCU Staffing.
