To say that In Every Story Labor Services is not your average staffing agency is putting it mildly. IES is a non-profit temporary employment agency that emphasizes quality service for its clients AND meaningful support to its temporary laborers.
IES accomplishes this two-fold goal by offering clear and powerful incentives to its economically disadvantaged workers.
The first priority is to help their workers succeed on the job. This is achieved through comprehensive screening and strict requirements of hired workers. Their rules are simple:
- Come to work
- Do a good job
- Remain drug free
The second goal is to help their laborers stay motivated and become self-sufficient. In order to accomplish this goal, IES donates a portion of its profits to what it calls the HOPE Fund, which is used to help their workers cover essential costs such as rent, utilities, and continuing education expenses.
In effect, IES has created a win-win situation that benefits local employers and offers struggling laborers the opportunity, support and incentives to improve their lives.
In fact, let’s throw another “win” out there because innovative business models like this are a boon to our whole community.
