FRESNO, Calif. — PrideStaff, a nationally franchised staffing organization, is pleased to announce that it has once again been named to ClearlyRated’s list of Best Staffing Firms for Women for cultivating an exceptional workplace environment where female employees thrive.

This is objective proof of PrideStaff’s unwavering commitment to creating a collaborative and empowering workspace,” stated PrideStaff Co-CEO Tammi Heaton. “We are proud to have many women in leadership roles at all levels within our organization. This distinction makes it clear that here, each employee has the opportunity to rise to their greatest heights.”

Heaton added, “The most important aspect of this award is that it’s based on anonymous feedback from female employees. I’m grateful for every individual in the PrideStaff system who contributes to this welcoming, rewarding work culture. Their tireless efforts have made us a leader in client and talent service excellence and have also made PrideStaff a great place to work.”

FRESNO, Calif. — In recognition of his hard work, positive attitude, and outstanding work ethic, PrideStaff, a nationally franchised staffing organization, is pleased to name Juan Antonio Ferez Kuri their National Temporary Employee of the Year. This national honor is given to the most exceptional field associate working on assignment through PrideStaff.

Juan’s journey with PrideStaff began in 2019, when his job ended unexpectedly, less than a year after settling in Arizona. After visiting the Phoenix Metro – East Valley office to fill out an application, he called every few days, even bringing coffee and donuts, determined to find his next job and build his American Dream.

Ann Gilbert, Owner/Strategic-Partner of PrideStaff Phoenix Metro – East Valley and the first member of the Phoenix team to meet Juan Antonio, is proud to have had her life touched by him. “The story of Juan Antonio is one of unbelievable perseverance and courage,” stated Gilbert. “Since his first placement in May 2019, he has worked on four different client assignments, and each client he’s worked with has been wowed by his work ethic and his positive attitude.”

“His work ethic and desire to go above and beyond anything that is asked is a daily inspiration for everyone who has the privilege to work with him,” continued Gilbert. “In moments of personal challenge, like when his wife was battling breast cancer, Juan Antonio’s positivity, professionalism, and ambassadorship of the PrideStaff brand never faltered.”

When interviewed, Juan Antonio expressed his deep gratitude for the PrideStaff team. “When I needed help finding my next job, they were there for me. Over nearly five years, they have always had my back, helping me make sure I can support my family and helping me turn my life into an American success story. I’m deeply grateful to my friends at PrideStaff for making all of this possible.”

“Stellar field associates like Juan Antonio Ferez Kuri are instrumental in helping us live Our Mission to ‘Consistently provide client experiences focused on what they value most,'” said PrideStaff Co-CEO Mike Aprile. “Juan is so much more than an employee; he’s an ambassador for PrideStaff, someone who reminds us all of the power of hard work, gratitude, and community. His story serves as a wonderful reminder that a strong work ethic and trust in PrideStaff’s proven processes can lead to a rewarding career, a brighter future, and a better community.”
