Have You Heard The One About The Employee Of The Month?
In September, the temperature may start getting coclder and the days may be getting shorter, however, Diane S.’s ability to do a great job seems to be unending. That is why we have chosen her as the Philly Temps Employee of the Month!
With each assignment, Diane puts into practice everything she has learned from her experience with Branding, Digital / Social Marketing and Strategic Planning (among other things!). She brands herself as a leader, markets herself as someone ready to get the job done, and she easily takes in each client’s plan so that she can strategically and professionally execute it.
Diane is a person who makes everyone she meets smile, through good humor and an aura of calm. She makes each team member feel comfortable working alongside her and inspires confidence that she will succeed at whatever task she is presented with.
Thank You, Diane, for all of your hard work this year and for being such a valuable member of the Philly Temps & Perm team!
