Strategic Staffing Solutions (S3) took center stage at Detroit Athletic Club on August 26 for the Plante Moran Toast & Tech talk entitled “surefire ways to attract, retain, and motivate talent.”

S3 team members April Donaldson, Executive Vice President, Shalini Lawson, Detroit Branch Manager and Cheryl Adams Davis, Account Manager, shared their expertise and S3’s best practices to an audience that included members of the Metro Detroit business community.

The S3 panelists focused their presentation to how the company builds a global brand for retention and recruitment, as well as tactics when working in one geographic location and in industry verticals.

The audience asked the panelists many questions, from how S3 maintains a virtual network globally to tactics the company uses to engage and retain intern talent.  The S3 panelists provided answers from their unique perspectives, highlighting S3 corporate culture of high-touch customer and consultant-focused service.  The panelists also noted during the presentation the many internal practices that make S3 a workplace of choice, including highly competitive benefits, a strong internal support team and special holidays, awards and recognitions.

A round of applause to April, Shalini and Cheryl – you three were bold, you were excellent, you were S3!

This year’s event was spectacular!  Moderate temperatures and clear blue skies throughout the day proved ideal weather for the over 140 golfers who participated.  And most importantly, S3 raised more than $40,000 to support DDP’s Safety and Security program.

S3 Executive Vice President Carl Bentley and Detroit Branch Sheena Wells, Resource Manager on the Consultant Care Team, along with the incredible Detroit Team coordinated the day.

“We are ecstatic so many golfers came out to help support the DDP and raise much needed dollars for our city,” said Bentley.

Headquartered in Detroit, S3 believes in giving back to the communities in which they do business. DDP also understands the importance in uplifting communities and creating opportunities.  Together, S3 and DDP will continue to build a partnership where corporate, civic and philanthropic leaders support, advocate, and develop programs and initiatives designed to create a clean, safe, and inviting Downtown Detroit.

Next year’s Annual Charity Golf Outing will be held on Sunday, August 9, 2015.  We look forward to seeing you there!
