made team racing shirts for the event. I figured that I would go there, and after I was done with my duties on the event committee, I would eat some good food, and cheer on the teams. Little did I know that soon after registration ended, I would be recruited to race on the Enterprise Fleet Manage-ment team. They were one racer short and they thought that I would do a decent job so they recruited me to race with them. I was hesitant at first, because although I had a good time when we raced with the committee, there were only 4 other drivers. This time, it would all be different with 9 other cars out there and the pressure to not fail my team. As I stepped into the car, I thought to myself, all I want to do is beat my last best racing time. I needed to give myself something to focus on other then the other cars because the only thing I didn't want to hap-pen is I didn't want to get hit by another car. When the checkered flag went down, my nervousness turned to adrena-line and I stepped on the gas. I was off racing down the curvy track attempting to focus on

my own lap time while trying to pass the car in front of me and avoid being passed by any other cars. It is amazing how fast 35 miles per hour feels when you are inches above the track! When the yellow lights went on and we were ushered

back into the pit, I had no idea how I had done. As I got out of my car and started chatting with my fellow racers, I learned that apparently I had done a pretty good job. At least at not letting them past me :-). Two more races later and one almost disqualifying crash by one of my teammates, team

Who knew that once I got into that little go kart, nothing else would matter? My eyes fo-cused in, my adrenaline began to race, and all that kept run-ning through my head was, "don't let them pass you!" It was a day like any other, I was helping out at the ABC Kart Race event to help raise money for their Political Ac-tion Committee (PAC). I helped with set up and sat at the registration table checking in the events partici-pants. Everyone seemed ex-cited and there was great team/company spirit in the air. Some companies even

Enterprise/Go-Staff came in 8th place. My forearms were feel-ing sore, I was dehydrated, and definitely more worn out then I had expected. Who knew that racing a little car around a track could be so tiring?

I must say though, my typical run of the mill Friday where I figured I would help out at the ABC event and get to cheer on my clients and fellow industry members, sure got more excit-ing very fast! Thank you to all at the event that encouraged me to participate and especially for those that didn't run into me! Maybe I have found a new hobby... :-) .

As promised last month, this month features all new bene-fits of staffing. #2. Reduce risk Most staffing companies, like ours, offer a temp-to-hire option so that employers may try out candidates before the commitment is made to add them to the team. Before making the final decision, candidates can work in the office or out in the field for an extended period of time without you having to make a commitment to hire until you are absolutely certain that you have found the right fit. Using temporary help during

busy times also relieves stress and prevents burnout among regular staff, which can reduce absenteeism and worker's compensation claims in the long run. During the crunch times, adding staff for just those select times keeps the core staff fresh. #3. Increased flexibility Adding extra staff as needed to smooth fluctuations in work-load helps avoid being over-staffed during slow times or understaffed during key busy times. Staff levels can be man-aged to be at productive levels all year. Letting temporary employees handle routine

business functions allows regu-lar staff to concentrate on more critical issues.

#4. Save time When working with a staffing company, they perform all the advertising, screening, inter-viewing and reference checking

What this means for YOU is that she makes it possible for around the clock phone support while I am at meetings to ensure your needs are met. Not only is she highly skilled at organizing correspon-dence but she also spear heads many other projects in our of-fice that keeps things running smoothly.

The main reason that I have been with Go-Staff for 7 years now is that the HIGHEST level of customer service al-ways our priority. We under-stand that getting you the right staff in a timely manner is what you depend on! In to-day's economy, many staffing companies are being forced to cut internal staff to accommo-date the decrease in external business, however at Go-Staff, we understand that our cus-tomers come first! As compa-nies begin to dip their toe into the hiring pool again, they are depending on staffing compa-nies to supplement their hiring process. Due to this slowly increasing demand we have brought on the newest member

needed to attract and qualify potential employees. At Go-Staff, we even customize screening options and testing procedures for each company that we work with. Because the employees are pre-screened for the necessary skills, limited training is usually needed before the new em-ployee becomes productive. The staffing company also takes care of the temporary staff's payroll processing and benefits administration, which saves time and money. Final edition coming in the December issue!
