Client Profile
We worked with a faith-based nonprofit organization that sendspackages of toys, school supplies, hygiene items, and small gifts to be distributed to children in need around the world. The goal is to provide not just physical gifts but also hope and joy to children, often in areas affected by poverty, war, or natural disasters.
Background
This faith-based organization had worked with many staffing companies for years all over the US. When they came to Colorado, they were looking for a staffing partner that cared about their purpose and would take the time to build a team of associate employees who also believed in their mission. In other locations, attendance/turnover issues were major issues for their 6-week project that required 120 associate employees over 2 shifts. When Job Store was referred to them, our team committed to making an impact for their organization, which made a difference to so many others around the world.

We created a workforce solution focused on retention and attendance for the duration of their 6-week, 120 employee project, while also bringing on board people who understood and took pride in the purpose of their work.
