Culture Trumps
Everything

Employees deserve a great place to work. We believe great workforces are built on great cultures focused on the premise that better individuals make better organizations. While mission, vision, values and strategy are all important, without great culture an organization and its employees are facing an uphill battle. Consistent focus on challenging behaviors which conflict with the culture aspired to, combined with regularly encouraging behaviors which contribute to the desired culture, allows SSO to create a positive and nurturing workplace environment for employees to grow and develop both professionally and personally.

Employee Engagement
Matters

Employees know what they need to be successful and are typically willing to share this. The challenge is most employers don't listen. SSO believes that listening to employees and taking action results in a more engaged and productive workforce. This means employees are heard and their ideas are valued. In many cases, the ideas are converted into action in the form of an adjustment to policy or administrative regulation either as presented or with a slight modification/compromise. In some cases, SSO is not able to make the change. In all cases the employee is heard and responded to.

Employee Referrals
Rule!

Employee referrals are a natural extension of culture and engagement. SSO's success at deLIVEring™ (pending) on its employment brand promises has been rewarded with industry-enviable rates of employee referrals. The average employee refers ~1.5 candidates to join the SSO workforce each year. More than 40% of SSO's new hires come from employee referrals. Our clients benefit from this tremendous pipeline of talent with lower placement costs, faster cycle time to fill jobs and higher quality of hire.
