Community Conscious: For 25 Years, Strategic Staffing Solutions Keeps Community At Its Core

DETROIT, Feb. 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- As a company grows, so should its commitment to the community. Strategic Staffing Solutions (S³) has contributed more than $9 million since 1990 to the well being of the community, with $2 million to support organizations across the globe.

From the beginning, S³'s public and community service has been every bit as important as the bottom line, and S³ is proud to compare with any of its competitors, large or small.

With combined individual and collective efforts, S³ takes great pride in its contribution of at least 1 percent of annual sales to the well being of communities, which is substantially more than almost any other company of comparable size.

"Supporting the community is part of S³'s DNA, and at S³ we feel that it is our responsibility as global corporate citizens to make an intentional and targeted effort to support the communities where we do business. In everything we do, our mission is to help people change their station in life, whether it is from a job creation standpoint or supporting community initiatives." – Cynthia J. Pasky, S³ President and CEO

S³ believes that the community is a stakeholder in its success, and the last 25 years have proven that to be true. Over the last quarter century, Strategic Staffing Solutions has grown from its Detroit headquarters to more than 2,700 team members across 31 locations.

The S³ organizational structure is an inverted pyramid – with customers, consultants and crucially, communities at the top.  The addition of communities to the top of the structure also reflects an additional investment of resources. In 2014 S³ created a Vice President devoted to the community. This adds immense value to the community focus and further aligns S_­­³'s corporate citizenship and giving strategies.

For S³, the focus is on four pillars of community giving. The core pillars are community and economic development, animal welfare, homelessness, and the arts. Team members across the organization devote their time and treasure in a variety of ways, whether it's arranging backpacks for the homeless with needed supplies or serving as a board member or advisor.

Some examples of organizations S³ supports include Big Brothers Big Sisters of Michigan, the Michigan Humane Society, the Mariners Inn homeless shelter and rehabilitation center, the InsideOut Literary Arts Project, the Mercy Education Project, Vista Maria, the Community Foundation for Southeastern Michigan, the Foreign Investment Advisory Council in Lithuania, the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy, Reading Works!, The Charlotte American Heart Association, CodeVA, and many more.
