At a national conference in Baltimore, the National Association of Personnel Services (NAPS) recognized Jennifer McCall-LaSalle, President of McCall Staffing Associates, Ltd., with their national Ethics Award. NAPS, established in 1961, selects one individual in the recruiting industry each year whose commitment, credibility, integrity, and vision reflects the Association's high standards of ethical business practices.

McCall Staffing Associates (MSA) joins a handful of national companies that have been recognized for exemplary ethical practices in the marketplace including high standards of behavior towards customers, employees, suppliers, and the community at large. Since the formation of MSA in 1996, the firm has specialized in the professional and administrative staffing needs of the legal, medical, corporate, insurance and financial services industries, developing trusted relationships with employers and job candidates alike.

“We are committed to setting a tone for business integrity,” said McCall-LaSalle, a native of the United Kingdom and graduate of Chelmsford College . “Our business culture is based on relationships, which mandates the highest ethical behavior and creates an atmosphere that is ‘character' focused. We understand the importance of corporate conscience and embrace the responsibility to fulfill our obligations in both the workplace and the marketplace.”

MSA's company tag line - Setting the “Hire” Standard - speaks not only to the work ethic of McCall-LaSalle and her staff, but demonstrates the firm's commitment to the community. As owner/president, she is an active participant in numerous professional and community organizations, and at any point in time someone from her office is likely to be involved in a charitable endeavor. Just last year, McCall-LaSalle obtained pledges for the Ontario-Yates Hospice when she competed in a swim across Canandaigua Lake.

In regard to her own staff, McCall-LaSalle is supportive of flexible schedules to enable a balanced family life, and is committed to addressing diversity issues. In addition to a standardized training program culminating in NAPS certification, her office has adopted “standard operating procedures” to ensure each candidate and client receives the same level of respect and service.
