Women-Owned Star Staffing Company Celebrates 25 Years

PETALUMA, Calif., September 20, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Star Staffing, a Forbes Ranked America’s Best Recruiting & Temporary Staffing firm, marks a quarter century in business. The premier staffing firm in Northern California, Star holds nine locations throughout Northern California with over 50 employees, record sales, and numerous accolades. “Thriving in our industry for 25 years has had numerous challenges,” says CEO Lisa Lichty. “Star has always risen to the ever-changing landscape of the industry — but it’s the building of strategic relationships that have lasted the test of time that has propelled us forward," explains Lichty, who credits the company's success to a driven and strategic team and the support of its surrounding communities. Their success is also the result of consistently leveling up their approach to fulfilling employee and employer needs. Initiatives that advance the industry, like their rigorous coaching program, exemplify the company’s pioneering approach to employee enhancement and retention.

In a pivot to counter the effect COVID-19 has brought on the workforce environment and employee culture, Star Staffing enlisted the expert council of performance coach Cheryl Mann, who brought experience from respected clients, such as AT&T, PG&E, Kaiser Permanente, and Sutter Health. Mann worked with Star’s 55 employees across eight branches to improve morale and strategize ways to combat stress, inefficiency, and negativity. “We’re all feeling more fear in our communities,” says Star Staffing President Nicole Serres. “And work is not separate from our lives, work-life balance includes recognizing and satisfying both sides by taking care of ourselves too.” The goal of the coaching sessions is for each person to come away transformed mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. “It’s my privilege and honor as a boss, to take care of my team,” says Serres.
