In this special addition of Off The Cuff with SSi People I was delighted to welcome back Amanda Marciniak to celebrate her being honored as one of SIA’s (Staffing Industry Analysts’) 40 Under 40 Honorees. As the director of learning and development for SSi People, Amanda has a thoughtful and intentional way of teaching and coaching. A lifelong learner herself, she continually asks, “What can I give to others to help them grow and be successful?” Her contagious energy draws others in, and she is most passionate about watching those she has hired and trained move up in their own careers.
In her first year with SSi People, Amanda revamped the company’s training program and updated it to four weeks from six, enabling new employees to reach productivity 33% sooner. She also implemented a learning management system that provides employee access to development-focused material at any time, and she tripled the amount of content available. In addition, Amanda led the migration of a new applicant tracking system, increasing the company’s capabilities to view, report, analyze and utilize data more effectively.
Amanda’s goal is to leave a department or company better than she found it by building structure in a flexible way that enables us to grow and thrive well into the future. In fact, at a prior employer, she created and built a recruiter and sales training program and integrated its technology tools to build a comprehensive tech stack.
In this conversation we discuss the state of the staff industry while diving into the emerging trends in both technology and relationship building. Amanda shares her thoughts on how the industry is evolving and what it’s going to take to stay ahead of the competition while still delivering the human component that is so essential to the work that we do at SSi People.
