Express Employment Professionals Earns Top Awards at International Leadership Conference

Express Employment Professionals South Africa earned top honors at the staffing firm’s 29^th annual International Leadership Conference in San Antonio, Texas.

The Directors Award was received by Carolyn Diaz, Express Head Quarters and Pietermaritzburg franchise owner.

This award is given to individuals who have grown and developed to higher levels and continue to model the Express culture. She has been instrumental to the growth and sustainability of South Africa. Since taking over the helm in 2008, it has seen consistent growth every year. She has helped Express grow by 277% in four short years, and has developed a strong staff component at Head Quarters. “Through diligence and dedication, she has helped put a huge footprint in her country, with more than 15 offices. If it weren’t for this person, we would be nowhere near the success we have in South Africa,” says William Stoller (USA).

Nearly 1,400 Express franchisees and their staff attended the company’s annual international leadership conference from 22-25 February.  The conference featured three days of workshops, networking and training on staffing and workplace issues such as leadership, customer service, retention and team building.
