Detroit Branch Manager Named A Diversity Business Leader

Congratulations to Strategic Staffing Solutions (S3) Detroit Branch Manager Shalini Lawson for being recognized as a Diversity Business Leader by Corp! Magazine. That’s Michigan’s top B-to-B publication that features success stories, best practices and strategies for business leaders.

corp-diversity-award-staffingLawson was honored at the “Michigan Salute to Diversity” breakfast by Corp! on Sept. 10 at the MGM Grand Casino in Detroit. Shalini was noted for promoting and fostering diversity through working with the more than 600 team members she oversees at S3 and her recruitment and on-boarding tactics.

As diversity is deeply ingrained in S3’s culture and history, this is not our company’s first time on the “Salute to Diversity” awards stage. In 2007, our president and CEO Cynthia J. Pasky received the Diversity Business Leader award and in 2009 S3 received the Diversity Focused Company award.

Kudos to Shalini to keeping S3’s legacy of commitment to diversity and inclusion strong!

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!
