Workforce Group has been our partner for 10 years. We’ve come to appreciate and trust their level of professionalism and efficiency. They’ve provided high-quality personnel to aid the continuity of some of NB plc’s business roles. Additionally, I’ve been impressed with the replacements of exited employees, which were executed OTIF and statutory regulations remitted appropriately.
