This week is Staffing for Canada week, which recognizes the C$15 billion staffing industry. The week is celebrated by the Association of Canadian Search, Employment and Staffing Services and its 1,500 member offices.
“The Canadian Staffing Industry was recognized as an essential service right from the beginning of the pandemic,” Acsess President Ted Maksimowski said. “There are many examples of our members demonstrating resiliency, tenacity and strength in delivering the talent that the businesses need. Our members are working closely with our clients and associates in bringing Canadians safely back to work.”
The week was first introduced in 1980 in Edmonton, Alberta, as “National Temporaries Week.”
