Hometown Man on a Hometown Team
When we think about team spirit and loyalty, one of the first names that comes to mind is Michael M., which is why he is the Philly Temps & Perm Employee of the Month for June 2019.
Michael may be quiet, but he is also diligent, professional, engaged, flexible and ready to do what it takes to get the job done.
It is just over two years since we first met Michael and it is high time we gave him ‘three cheers’ for a job well done.
