PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL-Numerous businesses liketo honor their top employees with accolades. This year LaborFinders, the country's oldest and largest privately held industriallabor staffing company in the United States was compelled to namenot one but two winners.

Dan Shube, the Chief Marketing Officer for Labor FindersInternational stated, "Our Labor Finders Employee of the Year awardis now in its third successful year. This whole concept began whenI started hearing stories about the wonderful temporary workersfrom our branch managers throughout the country.  It was afterreceiving yet another inspiring story, that I had a feeling therewere more stories needing to be told."  Shube went on to say,"It is unfortunate that the public's perception is not accuratewhen it comes to temporary blue-collar workers and our goal is toset the record straight with the facts. We wanted to recognize andreward our over-achievers and improve the morale of all ourtemporary workers and internal staff."

Throughout the country, branch managers from both Labor Findersand LF Staffing offices place over 15,000 people to work daily.These managers then entered their best candidates by explaining whytheir worker deserved to be honored with the Labor Finders Employeeof the Year Award. Some of key points the branch managers touchedupon were attendance, attitude, and hard work along with makingsuggestions that saved money or improved safety and if thetemporary worker received a permanent placement or if they wonemployee awards while on assignment.

Every office has their star performers; but the winner had to bea SUPERSTAR!  When the first couple of entries came in, Shubeand his team were hopeful. Then, the floodgates' opened and Shubestated, "Each of the branch managers wrote about their workers withpride and passion, begging us to consider their candidates. Many ofthe managers received recommendations from their clients thatemployed the workers; each of these letters of recommendation wereheartfelt and compelling."

The plan was to choose one winner, however, each of the entriesstories was compelling and some moved the judges to tears. Thedeadlocked judges had to select two winners and one second-placewinner along with three runners-up; in addition, 27 nominees wererecognized as honorable mentions.

Jimmy Coar, from Columbus, Georgia, defies words. His historyand work ethics speak volumes. For over 11 years, Jimmy has beenwith Labor Finders and was placed at his current assignment back in2009. "The motto at the Cross Country Plaza Shopping Center whereJimmy is employed," stated Christy Coleman, branch manager of theColumbus Labor Finders, "'If Jimmy ain't happy, ain't nobodyhappy', and they mean it."  At age 70, Jimmy shows no signs ofstopping, especially if this valued client has anything to sayabout it.

He truly cares about our propertyas much as I do and the owners are certainly grateful for that. Wehave approximately 60 tenants and all of them know Jimmy andappreciate the work he does.

As a youngman, Dontay made bad decisions that altered his very existence.What makes him far from ordinary is that unlike so many people whocontinue to venture down a negative path, Dontay made a 180 degreeturn, by taking control of his life, which led to his on-goingpursuit of all-things-positive. 

Dontay is the hardest working and caring person, you will evermeet. "I have witnessed him mentoring his fellow associates in theoffice," stated Elizabeth Orlando, branch manager of the CharlotteLabor Finders office. "He takes the time to listen to theirproblems; letting them know that nothing is impossible…he givesthem hope. It is truly wonderful when I connect a young worker withDontay on an assignment, the result is pure magic-he is anexcellent role model."   Customers adore Dontay. He getsrepeat assignments with the same clients and they love to feedhim-yes, clients always want Dontay to stay for dinner.

"My life has turned around, for the better, said Dontay Kilgo,"I cannot lie about Labor Finders, I brag about this company. I wasable to get a house, a car and nice clothes. My philosophy is theearly bird gets the worm and to always do hard, clean work.Presently, my plan is to become a certified Fork-Lift Operator.After that, I would like to buy a truck and start a movingbusiness. I have many goals, so I need to stay healthy in order tolive a long, productive life. This includes my on-going connectionwith God who made me a mature adult and of course, I will alwaysstay in contact with Labor Finders."
