Two names on this year’s SIA's Global Power 150 Women in Staffing list will look familiar: our CEO, Stacey Lane, and Executive Vice President Barbara Simmer.

The list is in its 12th year. It recognizes 150 women from staffing firms around the world whose leadership has made a measurable difference to their companies and to the industry.

Stacey has led Staffmark Group through a period of real change. Throughout it, she has held that technology should make room for the human connections this work depends on. Barbara has driven our sales and recruiting performance and helped our teams put new tools to practical use for clients and the people we place.

Congratulations, Stacey and Barbara!

Three questions to ask before you say yes to a job offer, and none of them are about salary. What does the first 90 days actually look like? Who will you report to, and have you actually met them? What happens to this role if the person above you leaves? Salary gets negotiated. Culture and structure don't, not after you've started.

World Mental Health Day is this Saturday, and the workplace angle isn't a footnote to that conversation, it's a big part of it. Burnout doesn't clock out because you found a new job, and a new job doesn't fix it either if the pace never changes. If you're navigating a hard stretch right now, take the break, make the call, ask for the accommodation. Your work will still be there. Your wellbeing has to come first for any of it to hold up.

October opens with a reminder we don't take lightly: 1 in 8 women in the U.S. will face a breast cancer diagnosis in her lifetime. Chances are good someone on your team, in your crew, or in your own family already has. This month we're wearing it, talking about it, and pointing our people toward the resources and time off they need if they're in it. To everyone fighting, everyone who beat it, and everyone who lost someone to it: we see you.

September moved fast: staffing employees got recognized, drivers got their due, and the countdown to peak season is getting real. One thing worth remembering as Q4 planning ramps up: whether you need light industrial, professional, technical, or specialized talent, one partner can cover all of it.

That's what Staffmark Group is built for.

National Native American Day is a chance to recognize Indigenous communities, cultures, and contributions that too often get left out of the workforce conversation entirely. Representation and opportunity should never depend on visibility. Today, we're making space for both.

Worker confidence improved in August. The bigger picture remains complicated.

’s Employee Confidence Index edged higher after reaching a record low in July, but concerns about layoffs, job security, and AI continue to shape how employees view the future. And like the labor market itself, confidence varies considerably by industry and career level.

For employers, the takeaway is clear: stability alone may not be enough to rebuild workforce confidence.
