Action Staffing Acts Fast
To Keep Essential Services Employed
Action Staffing is a staffing
business that caters specifically to the light industrial industry . This industry consists of warehousing and the delivery of goods , which have a daily demand for laborers and drivers to serve in client facilities .
What differentiates Action from its competitors is its willingness and capability to take on the more difficult and skilled job orders . Most staffing companies opt not to take on these work orders because of the time , money and resources involved in fulfillment . Action , however , has built its reputation on flexibility and a profound dedication to going above and beyond . What the company has found is that once they start taking on the tougher jobs for a client , other business flows , so this approach has been an excellent door opener for new opportunities .
The Action mission is to help its people , associates and clients better themselves and move up in life . CEO Mark Weiss believes this comes through in the organization and the way they treat everyone inside and out . He says that by focusing on the betterment of associates , the company has developed “ a culture that is quite unique in the industry .” He describes the company culture as one of dedicated people who really work together as a team and actively help each other towards success .
When New Jersey faced the official shutdown back in March , Mark got a phone call from the Business Services Unit of the governor ’ s office . The representative he spoke with said the governor was aware of the work Action Staffing does to staff businesses that produce and distribute food , coordinate roadside recycling pick up and provide other essential services . Action Staffing was , therefore , deemed essential and asked not to stop doing business .
It was a learning process for the whole team at Action to keep going . They had some people working remotely while some people had to be in the office . This required the company to outfit the office in adherence with now well-known safety guidelines . What impressed Mark about
