Utah’s Best Staffing Professionals Work at YES!
This month we would like to recognize an employee who has been a tremendous gift to us during this time of year – Laura Lafeen!
Thank You Laura Lafeen | YES December Spotlight
Laura is one of our amazing on-site managers at one of our largest clients that happens to be extremely busy this time of year. Laura helps on-board and train all new hires, while also helping motivate and reward all YES employees at that location. She has been extremely valuable to us all year long, but especially during the peak busy season when their hours are extended, all hands are on deck, and our other offices are screening and recruiting hundreds of employees for their team to manage. Laura is invaluable to our team because she is upbeat, friendly, and always willing to help. She brings a positive attitude and outlook to the team and we know we can rely on her.
We asked Laura to answer 11 questions about work and life. Here’s what she had to say:
1. Five things you enjoy.
- Being a Mom!
- Literature: I’m constantly reading or writing
- Music
- Caffeine… kind of an addict, not seeking help!
- Art!
2. Three things you don’t.
- Being late, it drives me crazy!
- Traffic
- Grocery shopping! Ugh, it’s the worst!
