IES is a non-profit temporary employment agency that emphasizes quality service for its clients AND meaningful support to its temporary laborers.<\/p>\n<p>IES accomplishes this two-fold goal by offering clear and powerful incentives to its economically disadvantaged workers.<\/p>\n<p>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:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Come to work<\/li>\n<li>Do a good job<\/li>\n<li>Remain drug free<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>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 <b>HOPE Fund<\/b>, which is used to help their workers cover essential costs such as rent, utilities, and continuing education expenses. <br \/>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. <br \/>In fact, let&#8217;s throw another &#8220;win&#8221; out there because innovative business models like this are a boon to our whole community. <br \/>For more information, visit: <a href=\"http:\/\/ieslaborservices.com\/\" target=\"_new\">IESlaborservices.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To say that In Every Story Labor Services is not your average staffing agency is putting it mildly.
