A Great Employee By The Numbers
1 interview, 2 languages, 74 assignments, 179 texts, 2 Batmans (that’s right), 1 son referred for work, and 12 social media action shots. Add the countless friends made and the myriad smiles shared and it totals Stephanie W., the Philly Temps & perm Employee of the Month for February 2019.
It may be impossible to quantify the full value Stephanie brings to the team with her work ethic. She knows when to listen, when to ask questions, and what questions to ask. She has an ability to envision each clients plan and instinctively know how to best execute it. Perhaps most important of all: she quietly insists that everyone get along and keep a positive attitude while on assignment.
Thank you Stephanie for all that you do and for taking the time to answer some questions for us, we appreciate you!
