CORESTAFF SERVICES ANNOUNCES
ASSOCIATE OF THE YEAR

Houston, TX (September 27, 2004) - Today, CORESTAFF Services names Bob Perry of Marysville, Wash. as our 2004 Associate of the Year and awards him $1,000. Patina Jones of Memphis, Tenn. receives $500 for second place. Phyllis Fultz of Sacramento, Calif., Ernest Brooks of Silver Springs, Md. and Reginald Jean of Meyersville, Md. each receive $100 as runners up.

CORESTAFF Services’ Associate of the Year contest is part of its annual Associate Appreciation Week, occurring this week through October 3. It runs in conjunction with Alexandria, Virginia-based American Staffing Association’s (ASA) National Staffing Employee Week, which celebrates the 2 million temporary and contract workers in the United States.

Staff employees in all CORESTAFF markets submit nominations for Associate of the Year. Steve Drexel, CORESTAFF Services president and chief executive officer, makes the final selections among those who best exemplify CORESTAFF’s high standard for serving our customers.

During Associate Appreciation Week, CORESTAFF Services recognizes its 25,000 temporary and contract employees who contribute to keeping America’s workplaces going. On any given week, 10,000 of those associates are working on assignment at our client companies. “Associate of the Year selection is difficult, but I always enjoy the process because I get to hear about the endless ways our associates become valuable additions to our customer’s organizations,” said Drexel. “While we set aside a week to show our appreciation, I want our associates to know that they have our gratitude every day of the year.”
