May 2009


Dear
Reader,

In the past several weeks, economists, industry experts and political leaders alike have all been weighing in on where they see the economy headed in the next few months. Some are optimistic, predicting an upturn by the end of the calendar year, others are saying that we still haven't hit bottom.

The truth is, nobody knows for sure when things will get better. But the good news is that you have complete control over where your business heads in the coming months. In this month's feature article, you'll discover some ways you can plan for success and come out ahead when this recession is over.

I hope you enjoy this issue!

Regards,

Tim Giehll

Going Green with eEmpACT!
Thank you for your earth conscious tips!

Last month in honor of Earth Day, we asked you for tips on how you help save the environment and your office expenses by going "Green with Green". Here are some of the answers we received from our business partners:

We have our printers set up to print on front and back to save paper. We also will take a piece of paper that is blank on the back and feed it back through the printer.

I like the feature of being able to export any report in the Report out to a Word doc or Excel to help save paper.

Corene IversonWelcome Corene Iverson!

We'd like to introduce Corene Iverson to you as eEmpACT's new Accounting/Administrative Clerk. Originally from Watertown, SD, Corene attended Mount Marty College. She moved to the Twin Cities area roughly eight months ago because there were many more opportunities here for Corene and her family.

Prior to eEmpACT, Corene was employed with the National Association of Tower Erectors (NATE) as Account Coordinator. As for time away from work, Corene likes spending time with family and friends, reading, long walks or jogging, biking, camping, fishing, listening to music, and she especially loves the 80's.

Please join us in welcoming Corene to the eEmpACT family!

Congrats to Joe Cummings!

We'd like to congratulate Joe Cummings and the team at Royal Staffing in California, for being named in the top five Staffing Firms in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties of Southern California by the San Fernando Valley Business Journal. Outstanding job!
