Local Staffing and Recruiting Business Owner Recognized with Prestigious National Honors

Spherion Staffing and Recruiting (Spherion) in Fresno announced today that it was recently presented with the Carol Peters Spirit award during the company’s annual National Meeting.

The Carol Peters Spirit Award is presented to individuals who best exemplify a selfless attitude and who continuously strive to better the Spherion and franchise communities. Glenna Gates, local franchise owner in Fresno and Visalia, received this award for her participation in countless initiatives, volunteering to welcome new franchisees, serving on the Franchisee Advisory Board and other committees, piloting the Execute Excellence program and proactively sharing state legislative changes with her colleagues and clients.

“I make it my mission to pay forward the support that I’ve received from my Spherion family, both the corporate team and my office teams, to others within this incredible franchise system,” said Gates. “I am incredibly humbled to now be counted amongst the ranks of my fellow Carol Peters Spirit Award winners and look forward to continuing to serve Central California for many more years to come.”
