Express PersonnelA National Company That Shines Locally
Express Personnel Services
At the heart of Express Baton Rouge is Robert Myer, a nationally recognized franchise owner whose work ethic, attention to detail, and rapid franchise expansion led to his recent receipt of the prestigious Director's Award. "As a local franchise owner, I have a vested interest in finding, identifying, training, and coordinating skilled performance in the area's workforce," Robert says. "We find that a lot of companies spend time worry about personnel issues and we take all of that out of their hands and do the worrying for them," says Robert. "It's our burden to find the right person for the job." Express Personnel staffs businesses with employees both temporarily and permanently in a variety of fields including accounting and financial, information technology, engineering, manufacturing, and technical, healthcare, sales and marketing, human resources, and many others. Temporary staffing is available for office services, industrial and general labor, and technical and electronic positions. "We provide drug tests, background checks, and reference checks," says Robert. "We strive to place people who want a future, not just a paycheck." Express accompanies new workers to the workplace on their first day on the job. "We check in people ourselves and provide quality control checks as well as exit interviews with our employees to make sure the job is the best fit for the customer and the associate." Express offers businesses "flexible staffing" — a trial-period system that guarantees satisfaction. If for any reason the trial period is not a success, Express will immediately replace the worker. "Flexible staffing is a win-win situation for both the client and the employee," says Robert. "Our clients must be completely satisfied, of course. And our workers benefit from feedback as well." Express services go beyond those of the normal employment agency. Not only can Express handle a business's pay roll, the company also offers a variety of consulting services such as organizational design, communication planning, management development, compensation strategies, skills training, human resource audits, industrial relations, and labor relations. In addition, Express covers workers compensation, social security, and state unemployment for temporary workers hired through Express. Robert Myer is a native of the Baton Rouge area who returned home three years ago after being employed in the corporate world for almost 20 years. Working in management for a Fortune 500 company, Myer was often a client to the personnel service industry and therefore understands the impact quality employees can have on a business. He also owns an Express franchise in Gulf Port, Mississippi. In February, Robert received the Director's Award from Express Personnel's founder and chairman, Robert Funk. To be singled out for such an honor is no small feat considering the size of the Express Personnel franchise system, with over 425 offices worldwide and over a billion dollars in annual sales.

"It's hard to believe Robert Myer has been with the Express Family for just two years ... Both of his offices have experienced exponential growth ... He has also found to time to recruit the #1 wide receiver in America to his alma mater ... His vision and dedication to Express not only benefits him, but every office in the Express Family." —Express Founder and Chairman Robert A. Funk, in his presentation of the Director's Award to local franchise owner Robert Myer.
