Recognizing a job well done

Dignified, distinguished, poised and professional. These are just some of the adjectives that have been used todescribe the Philly Temps & Perm Employee of the Month for April 2017, Walter V.

Walter’s ability to remain calm, productive and good humored under any circumstance along with his ability to make every person he speaks to know they are the only one in the room makes us wish that he would teach a master class in customer service.

Walter has been representing Philly Temps, Our Clients and Philadelphia for 11 years. Rain or shine, early or late, ‘Mr. V’ has always brought a huge smile to each of his assignments (All 267 of them).

Simply put, Walter is a class act and if you’ve worked with him you are better for it.

We recently met with Walter in an effort to get to know him a little better.
