EMBERS Helps Worker of the Month Earn Five Construction TicketsDec 11, 2018

Harmanjit is EMBERS Staffing Solutions top pick for the November Employee of the Month award. He works out of our Surrey branch, and after presenting him with his award, we sat down to chat with Harmanjit to learn about his experience with our temporary staffing agency.

Finding the perfect gift for that special, albeit picky, someone can be a challenge, especially during the busy holiday season. This year, why not skip the line ups and crowded malls to give a gift that that changes lives.

Today is Giving Tuesday, an international day of giving where people around the world donate to their favourite charities. You can support Giving Tuesday by joining EMBERS in the 100 Boot Challenge.
