Company Enhances Government Services Portfolio With New Business Unit
TROY, MI, Apr 04, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) -- Kelly Services, Inc. (NASDAQ: KELYA) (NASDAQ: KELYB), a world leader in human resources solutions, today announced the formation of a new business unit dedicated to providing a full spectrum of talent management solutions to the United States government.
Building upon the company's long-standing and successful supplier relationship to the federal government, Kelly Government Solutions will provide contract labor, workforce management, temporary staffing, outsourcing, consulting, and contract compliance services.
Kelly Government Solutions will join Kelly's existing Americas business segment, and will include Kelly FedSecure, the company's specialized service line that provides human capital solutions at all clearance levels -- interim secret to TS/SCI LS Poly -- for active security-cleared professionals and contract labor in information technology, engineering, legal, science, and finance to government agencies worldwide. James Hoen, vice president and business unit leader, will lead Kelly Government Solutions.
"With an estimated 60 percent of the federal workforce eligible to retire in the next decade, the government faces the same looming talent shortage expected in the private sector. The use of innovative and effective talent solutions to address the evolving needs of the federal government is essential to mission critical functions," said Jonathan Means, senior vice president, Central Business Operations of Kelly Services. "We're excited to build upon our existing federal business portfolio, and to offer additional comprehensive and proven workforce management solutions for all branches of the government."
