When it comes to workplace benefits, one size doesn't fit all!

Some employees value flexibility in what they wear, while others would love the opportunity to bring their pets to work.

We asked one of our team members a simple question: Would you rather have no dress code or be able to bring your pet to work?

Their answer came with an interesting explanation!

It's a fun reminder that what one employee considers a great benefit might not matter as much to someone else.

Which benefit would you choose?

Happy Boss’s Day to our very own Dawn Apajee!

A great boss does more than lead a company. They support their team, believe in their potential, celebrate their successes, and help them grow. That’s exactly the kind of leader Dawn is.

Dawn genuinely cares about the people who make up City Personnel. She's always there to offer guidance, encouragement, a little tough love when needed, and plenty of laughs along the way. She leads by example and makes sure everyone on her team feels valued and supported.

And we’re not the only ones who recognize her leadership! Dawn was named a 2025 Leaders & Achievers honoree by Providence Business News and recently received the 2026 Top Workplaces Leadership Award in the small business category.

While these awards are well deserved, those of us who work with Dawn every day know that what makes her such a great boss goes far beyond any recognition.

Happy Boss’s Day, Dawn! Thank you for everything you do for our team, for always believing in us, and for making City Personnel a place we’re genuinely proud to be part of. We’re lucky to have you!
