Spherion in the Community

To us, being “local” means more than matching local talent with employers who have roles to fill. It’s about dedicating our time and resources to improve the communities where we live and work. Spherion franchisees, colleagues, and corporate team strive to live out our company core values of engagement, resourcefulness, insightfulness, and investment by partnering with community organizations and individuals who are already making positive change. We amplify their work through volunteering, philanthropy, and ongoing support so that our communities become an even better reflection of the world we want.

Community Giveback Program

We think success should be shared, so giving back is in our DNA. Since we began the Community Giveback Program in 2014, our local offices have donated more than $1.2 million dollars to essential community-based organizations. The nonprofits vary in size, scope, and cause, and are selected based on their essential efforts to create change in their local communities.

Additionally, the Community Giveback Program is an opportunity for franchisees to forge relationships with other organizations making a difference in their communities. We know that greater things can happen when we support each other. These local donations offer the chance for franchisees and local nonprofits to get to know each other's work and discover potential synergies that can further enhance the community.

It’s our way of thanking the communities we live in and love.
