Strategic Plan Overview

Strategic Plan Overview

The staffing industry generated more than $78 billion in revenue last year, $69 billion of which was from temporary help services (ASA, 2006). America's workforce is changing at an accelerated pace; as a result, the staffing industry will need to have a forward thinking strategic plan in place in order to support clients and candidates alike. Strategic thinking will need to replace operational thinking in order to be profitable long term (Tan, 2000). ABC Staffing., a national staffing firm, is the chosen organization in which to present a strategic plan for. The company's background, mission, vision, and values will provide a great overview of the strategic plan to come.
