December 2008
Season's Greetings!
 
For eRichards Consulting, 2008 has been a very rewarding year. Our new offices in Shelton, CT have allowed us to spread our wings, add to our internal team, and enjoy the many features of the Scinto Corporate Park.  Our terrific clients have trusted us to work with them on their initiatives and projects, and for this we are thankful to them. We are looking forward to the New Year and the opportunities that are on the horizon.
 
We wish to extend to all of our readers and their families a wonderful holiday season filled with health, peace, and prosperity.
 
Sincerely,
 
 
Doreen Gebbia
Staffing for Success
Dealing with the economic climate
 
Presently our economy is an example of how the external environment can have both positive and negative impacts on business operations; in particular the staffing process.  In this downturn, many companies are experiencing budget constraints resulting in the downsizing of their permanent employees.  The economic climate in all probability will continue well into '09 and is causing uncertainty for both companies and job seekers alike.  However, what we at eRichards are seeing, is that the need for temporary and contract positions has increased.  Also known as "contingent staffing", more companies are looking to fill temporary positions through this time of uncertainty.  As the economy begins to strengthen again, the potential for the temporary employees to be converted to permanent staff will once again increase.
 
Temporary staffing allows the employer to assess if the worker is a good "fit" for the company while simultaneously offering the employee the opportunity to determine if this is the right position and culture for them.
 
Finding the right person for a job is always a challenging task.  Here at eRichards, we pride ourselves in working diligently within our network and in our strong out of the box thinking to provide qualified talent with solid experiences, references, and backgrounds to our clients.  With many years of experience in consulting and staff augmentation, eRichards is a reliable and trustworthy partner, whether you are looking for permanent, temporary, or temp to permanent talent. Our new engineering and construction project management division is successfully working with many utility firms in the Northeast. By combining our industry knowledge, finely tuned network and technology we are able to successfully access and manage today's top talent. Contact us at 203-944-0816.
Holiday Health and Safety Tips
Taking care of you and yours
 
The holidays are a time of celebration, gratitude, and reflection.  It can also be hectic and a bit stressful. So take time out to breath, exercise and just clear your mind. Take a look at the following tips:
 
Wash your hands often.  Avoid getting and spreading germs by washing your hands with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.
Stay warm.  In cold weather, stay dry and dress warmly in layers of loose-fitting, tightly woven clothing.
Manage stress.  Balance home, work, and exercise - remembering to breath, laugh and smile!
Travel safely.  Whether you are traveling far away or locally be sure to wear your seat belt and have a designated driver.
Eat, drink, and be merry.  Moderation is key in enjoying all holiday food, treats and libations. Staying active for at least  three hours a week (half hour per day) will keep you happy and healthy. And did I mention a designated driver!
