Celebrating Asian American And Pacific Islander Heritage Month
Honor AAPI communities and their tremendous impact on our country by learning more about their cultures.
By Shanon Maglente and Minhae Shim Roth
The first day of May is the start of Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month. The month celebrates the historical and cultural contributions of Asian American and Pacific Islander people — an umbrella group which includes those with heritage or ancestry from East, Southeast, South, Central and West Asia and the Pacific Islands. Asia is the largest continent and consists of around 50 countries with more than 4 billion people, and the World Bank's Pacific Island member countries have a combined population of about 2.3 million people. In addition, Asian Americans are the fastest-growing racial or ethnic group in the U.S.

Labor Finders, the oldest and largest privately held industrial staffing company in the U.S., today announced its “Employee of the Year” winner. With nominations spanning hundreds of staffing branches across the country, Jane Hockaday of Saraland, AL, is the 2024 national winner.
Throughout her decade-long career with Labor Finders, Ms. Hockaday has worked in various roles and industries, including housekeeping, construction clean-up, landscaping, hospitality, server, mover, driver, and road-flagger, the last for which she recently has become state-certified through Labor Finders. The company’s annual contest marks the 14th consecutive year that Labor Finders has recognized an outstanding temporary associate from among its 67,000-person workforce. However, this year’s honor is especially significant with Mother’s Day on the horizon: Ms. Hockaday will be celebrated by her two children, 14 grandchildren, and three great-grandchildren.
Amit Pal Singh Of Labor Finders On Why Corporate Culture Matters In Business
An Interview With Vanessa Ogle
By Vanessa Ogle
Every company has a corporate culture. This culture can foster innovation and a fresh exchange of ideas, or it can promote selfishness and backbiting, which will damage the bottom line of any business. Sensitivity to the culture of a business goes beyond mere awareness; it’s about actively adapting and responding to create the culture that you want to represent your brand. This is crucial for building successful, respectful, and inclusive working environments and for creating products and services that resonate with a diverse customer base. As part of this series, we had the pleasure of interviewing Amit Pal Singh.
Amit Pal Singh is President and Chief Operating Officer of Labor Finders, the oldest and largest privately held industrial staffing company in the United States. His responsibilities include managing the various operational components of the franchise staffing business, including its company-owned Labor Finders franchise, called LF Staffing Services. In an ongoing effort to improve the support services offered to its franchisees, Amit works on achieving Labor Finders’ strategic and business goals as part of the leadership team. He is based in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, which serves as the company’s headquarters.

How did your military service influence your approach to leadership in the corporate world or at Labor Finders?
Being pushed into a leadership position while young gives you a ‘sink-or-swim’ moment. Without having had the experience, it can feel pretty daunting. But once you have achieved even modest success in a leadership role, it helps to build your confidence, knowing that even if you’re facing a new challenge, it may be unfamiliar, but it sure isn’t insurmountable. Over time, the advantage of having had years of experience and hands-on training in fast-moving, ever-changing situations have taught me hard-learned lessons that I have carried with me over the years. Those who know me know that I am adamant about real-life, relevant experiences.
