CHICAGO, IL (September 16, 2011) - Advanced Resources LLC, a Chicago staffing firm and talent solutions provider, has announced that it has named Tamika Gray as its “Temporary Staffing Employee of the Year.”

The American Staffing Association (ASA) celebrates staffing employees nationwide each fall during National Staffing Employee Week. Advanced Resources regularly participates in this annual celebration as a way to show appreciation for its workforce. For 2011, the company has unanimously chosen Ms. Bishop for her numerous contributions and for the example she sets as an exemplary temporary employee.
