Strategic Staffing Solutions to Celebrate 20 Years of Service and Growth

DETROIT, Sept. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Detroit-based Strategic Staffing Solutions (S3), a global IT and business services firm, will mark 20 years of steady growth and innovation when it observes its 20th anniversary Oct. 1st.

Founder, President and CEO Cynthia J. Pasky started the company in a small office on Woodbridge St. in the shadow of the Renaissance Center on Oct. 1, 1990.  In the intervening years she has shepherded the company through 20 consecutive years of revenue growth while its workforce has expanded from three employees at the beginning to more than 1,800 employees in the U.S. and Europe today.  

"S3 has grown to more than 20 locations in the U.S. and Europe because we create solutions for our customers and our community that lay a solid foundation and have high growth potential," she said. "It is our philosophy that the S3 team becomes partners with the organizations we work with and we work to earn their business and trust every day.  We have been doing this for nearly 7,300 days, since we opened on October 1, 1990, and we are proud of the success we have achieved."

That record of innovation and partnering with customers continued this year when S3 opened its Detroit Development Center (DDC) in the city's Central Business District in April with its first anchor customer Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan.  The center opened with 53 IT professionals in May, has already grown to 100 employees and is expected to expand further to 150 employees by the end of the year.

"Business ventures like this are a prime example of how businesses can work together and secure opportunities that are beneficial for both of our bottom lines and our community," said Pasky.

In addition to that commitment to innovation and growth, S3 also is known for its community involvement and philanthropic endeavors.  

Every S3 branch in the U.S. and Europe adopts one or more local charities for which it provides active support.  In the last 20 years, the company has donated more than $5 million to charities in more than 20 locations in the U.S. and Europe.  In Detroit, S3's two signature fundraisers, the Grand Prix Shakedown and Detroit Charity Golf Outing, support 2-1-1 On the Go!, a Detroit homeless outreach program that was conceived by S3 in conjunction with the Downtown Detroit Partnership and the United Way for Southeast Michigan. In the past three years, S3 has generated $107,000 in donations for 2-1-1 on the Go!  

S3's progressive business and community initiatives have garnered the company several notable recognitions.  For the last eight years, the Michigan Business and Professional Association has listed S3 as one of its 101 Best and Brightest Companies to Work For, and this year, Corp! Magazine named the company a Michigan Economic Bright Spot.  Additionally, Pasky was named one of DBusiness magazine's Most Powerful Women in Business.
