Spherion Staffing and Recruiting in Williamsport recently announced that it was recently presented with the President's Award during the company's annual National Meeting.
According to a news release, franchise owners Jay and Don Ruggery Jr. were awarded the President's Award to recognize their "back to basics" business strategy to increase their sales, marketing and recruiting team efforts. By using all of the brand-supported resources available to them, they were able to create creative solutions that addressed key client challenges.
"Donnie and I feel incredibly honored to have been presented with the President's Award on the heels of our recent recognition as two of the International Franchise Associations 2023 Franchisees of the Year," said Jay, co-franchise owner of Spherion Western and Central Pennsylvania, according to the news release. "These recognitions would not have been possible without our hard-working employees from all fifteen of our locations throughout the state, one of which we added to our portfolio as recently as this past year."
The 2024 Spherion National Meeting was held at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in New Orleans in mid-March. While there, franchisees had the chance to reconnect with each other and with members of the corporate team while participating in educational workshops that embody Spherion's culture of continuous growth and improvement.
"It was an empowering moment for our franchise community to gather in New Orleans for our 2024 National Meeting and celebrate our 2023 accomplishments while reflecting on growth opportunities for the year ahead," said Kathy George, president of Spherion, according to the news release. "Spherion has the award-winning reputation it holds today because of franchisees like Jay and Don Jr., whose dedication to excellence sets the standard for our organization. We're proud to recognize the entire Williamsport team for their hard work and community contributions."
Spherion brandishes the power of local through a network of independent and empowered franchisees like Don Jr. and Jay Ruggery, the news release said. Each Spherion franchisee enriches their community through connecting and facilitating employment opportunities every day -- and when they're successful together, their investments flow back into the neighborhoods where they live and work.
