Balancing Act
My name is Todd Strehlow and I am one of the operating officers of WFA Staffing with two offices in the Greater Milwaukee area. I am the CBO, as I call it. That stands for the Chief Balance Officer which is also in keeping with one of my other passions, riding my bicycle… seriously…

Read MoreATTITUDE
How Do You Spell Magic? A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E There is something that we seldom miss. Whenever we walk into a workplace, retail or service or whatever, we are immediately aware of attitude. Similarly, when we make a call and the telephone is answered, we are immediately aware of attitude. Whenever we answer our telephone, we are immediately aware…

A word to the wise… Ebbs and flows in the employee/employer marketplace are nearly as predictable as the rise and fall of the tides. However, we doubt seriously that the Moon has anything to do with current employee availability. We are in a time period where employers are interviewing candidates we send to them and…

Read MoreAttitude Gains Altitude
Your attitude will determine your altitude. Our own Marquette University Law School conducted a poll recently asking what people thought about the economy going forward. About one-third thought it would get worse than last year at this time. That was the highest number since this poll began in 2012. If we are thinking like pessimists,…
Read MoreHappy 2019!
Happy New Year! A new year has rolled around again and it brings both challenges and promises along with it. If we are looking only for the less-than-good, that will be easy enough to find. Too much of this! Too little of that! No people available! Can’t find a job to save myself! If, on…
Read MoreStrong Relationships Mean Everything
Strong Relationships… We talk about strong relationships regularly. We believe that strong relationships are the life’s blood of our business. Relationships are formed over time and we understand that. We have enduring relationships formed at the very beginning of WFA Staffing. We have been developing strong relationships with relatively recent client organizations. Each of our…
