(Free-Press-Release.com) December 8, 2009 -- SVS Group, a Temporary Staffing firm headquartered in Emeryville, California, took on the holiday spirit this past week. While the firm holds an annual sales meeting this time of year, the founders, Steve Allen and Eugene Lupario, wanted to give something back. So, much of the meeting was about helping out others.

Allen and Lupario organized their people into teams and instructed them that they would be making purchases for either Toys for Tots or buying care packages for our troops fighting the wars in Iraq or Afghanistan. "Our meetings give us a forum to bring everyone together and we thought it would be a wonderful opportunity to help out other people", said Lupario of the event.

Michael Cooper, of the Emeryville Fire Department , could not have been more pleased to see a local business working to support Toys for Tots. "It is great to see businesses in our community help less fortunate families. More of this kind of thing needs to be done". Cooper was not alone in his sentiment. The participating team members all felt very strongly about their involvement as well. trade reference template full download, christmas food drive calgary, how to train dog In addition to Toys for Tots, several people were tasked with buying care package items for the troops fighting overseas.

"How can you not feel good about helping out our troops?" said Tish Norton, the Operations Manager for SVS Group. Like Ms. Norton, each participant was proud to pitch in and make such an effort.

The care packages for the troops will be delivered just in time for the Christmas. Steve Allen could not have been more proud of his employees' reaction to participating in the event, "we will certainly look to do more of this in the months ahead".

We could not have received all of these accolades without an outstanding team of sales people and recruiters”, says co-founder Steve Allen. “These are dynamic, influential companies who play a vital role to corporate America,” says Jim Wolken, managing partner with Purple Squirrel’s parent company, New Work Media. “That’s why we’re so pleased to celebrate the accomplishments of the PS100.” The PS 100 received support and sponsorship from leading companies who work with IT services companies, including lead sponsor WebPas a leader in software development for the IT services industry. Other sponsors included: dice.com, the nation’s largest IT job board; CCBSure, a leading provider of technical insurance for technology companies and individual IT professionals; and the National Association of Computer Consulting Businesses, an association of over 500 IT services companies. The PS100 was compiled through an extensive application and evaluation process, and audited by the independent accounting firm of Johanna Higham, PC.

The list of winners will also be published in the January issue of Contract Professional magazine (serving 50,000 independent I.T. contractors) and The Talent Economy (serving 50,000 human capital managers in corporate America). “All of the companies on this list have achieved a great deal of success,” says Wolken. “It’s our job to recognize that success. In the end, we hope other companies learn from the companies represented in the PS100 and apply those lessons to better their own businesses.” About the Purple Squirrel 100 Launched in January, 2001, the PS 100 is an exclusive ranking of the 100 fastest-growing IT services firms in the United States.
