RMG Staffing Says Farewell to One of Its Greats
Being a human resource manager is not an easy job. Though an HR manager is one of the first persons an employee meets upon getting hired and is usually the person who guides one through the introductory stages of employment, a great HR manager is somewhat of a hidden gem who moves around an office like blood maneuvers throughout the body, making sure each and every employee has the necessary support to perform the daily duties and responsibilities the company requires. Aside from administrative support, a good and nice HR manager will usually remind you to take your vacation time before you lose it. Former RMG Staffing HR Manager Teresa Walker has done all of the previously mentioned things and much more, she not only placed people in their positions, she placed them in their passions. She believed in changing lives and so she did to so many. Teresa had been a vital asset to the company and through her many years of service; RMG Staffing had seen tremendous growth. As a human resource executive for RMG Staffing, her long list of duties and responsibilities included helping out with RMG’s branding and business development, devising company initiatives to increase productivity, implementing recruitment strategies and setting retention goals. Overall, her countless efforts had contributed greatly to RMG Staffing being now the leading staffing agency within South Florida’s staffing industry. In addition to her tremendous contributions to Team RMG, Teresa has a big heart and it showed during the many times RMG was asked to enlist employees to support foundations and non-profit organizations. She spearheaded RMG Staffing’s involvement in last year’s Walk to Cure Lupus. Her smile and demeanor during the event inspired other employees to not only be great workers but also greater human beings who contribute to causes. “Without a doubt, our company would not be what it is today if it wasn’t for Teresa,” President and CEO of RMG Staffing Ricardo Michelangeli says of Teresa Walker. “Within the years she was a part of our team, she showed loyalty and great dedication. She helped increase company productivity and came up with creative ideas that pushed our company to heights that we never thought were imaginable. She will surely be missed, a one-of-a-kind Human Resource Manager. We wish her success in her new journey.”
What NOT to do at your office Holiday party
We all know how wild a night out can get, especially here in Miami, but at your office Holiday party, you may want to tone down the holiday spirit a little bit. Christmas is just around the corner and you will probably be receiving a notice soon, for the office party. Whether you are a manager or an employee on the bottom side of the hierarchy, there are a few rules you need to follow. We know what you are thinking – Rules? At a party? How boring! Unless you want your party to turn into the scene from the “Office Christmas Party”, you better check yourself before you wreak yourself. Contact us for more information about RMG Staffing or hiring us for your next party or any event in Miami, Fl! So, to prevent you from making any faux pas, we have come up with a couple of no-nos that you should definitely NOT indulge in, no matter how strong the compulsion: Don’t Be the Drunk of the Party Imagine facing the same people tomorrow at the office, after spilling all your beans about a coworker at the party. There is a sure way to embarrass yourself in front of everyone and the path that brings you here swiftly is the open bar. Have you ever met your drunk self? For all you know, you could be a mean, insulting or makes-everyone-cringe drunk. Moreover, when you are drunk, you tend to pass out degrading comments such as: Why don’t you let a little loose because you are really an uptight person? Babe… that dress is bangin’ Your wife is cool to work with… put in a good word for me for that promotion will ya. You get our meaning. Don’t Indulge In Gossip Dan in the office next to you is having an affair but that is none of your business! Whether this is a rumor or not, try to stay away from gossip. These things tend to suck you in and before you know it, you are sitting on a boatload of information, which you can’t tell anyone but if you do, you will be the one in trouble. In fact, if you hear someone gossiping, shut it down immediately. Don’t Spend the Entire Night by the Food Table This is your party, so go ahead and have some fun but not at the food table! Stocking up your plate and stuffing your mouth with hors d’oeuvres makes it quite difficult to mingle. Imagine shaking other people’s hands with sticky or oily fingers while talking with a full mouth. People might see this as an insult and frankly, this is simply rude behavior. Don’t Talk Smack About the Boss This is one of the biggest no-nos that you should avoid at an office party. Negative comments made on the boss tend to make their way to his or her ear pretty fast. Moreover, this behavior is completely unacceptable in a corporate environment. Don’t forget, you are standing on their property and you have the audacity to talk bad about them? Keep Those Loose Lips Shut Talking about your crush or revealing information about others is not something you should ever do at a party. People live for the drama and once the party is over, you will make a lot of people uncomfortable the next day, when they will hear about what you said… and they definitely will! Lastly, keep those inappropriate compliments to yourself. No one wants to hear a compliment that is a part insult. This kind of behavior can be quite damaging for your career. So, be on your guard while at an office part and try to limit your drinks to two. Oh… and stay away from the dance floor if dancing is just not your forte. If you want help staffing your next party or event, RMG can help; contact us.

It also gave prospective employees the chance to have face to face greetings with hiring managers. My advice is, if you’re looking for a job or another opportunity to improving your career don’t just sit in front of a computer and look on the internet. Be out and about and attend a job fair.

Begin your network with the companies you’re most interested in. Relax and be confident. If there is a wait to speak to the company representative, be patient and wait. Always greet with a firm handshake and a smile. The conversation with the company representative should be 50% listening and 50% talking. Get their contact information and certainly give yours if the conversation goes well. Thank them for their time. Before leaving the job fair: Review the list of contact information you acquired. Review the job fair’s pamphlet and see whether there were any companies you missed. Keep the pamphlet for future reference.

We’re always looking for skilled individuals to join our exciting team.
Spread the Word: Help RMG Help End Lupus
A recently published study concluded that lupus is among the leading causes of death in young women between the ages of 15 and 24. It found that 28,411 young women died due to lupus in 2000 to 2015, ranking lupus as the 10th leading cause of death for women in that age group. RMG Event Staffing Agency is a huge supporter of Lupus Foundation of America and its efforts to bring awareness to lupus. We are also a proud participant of the annual Walk to End Lupus. Funded by Lupus Foundation of America the study also revealed that among black and Hispanic women with lupus ranked 5th in the 15 through 24 age group, 6th in the 25 through 34 ages group, and 8th-9th in the 35 through 44 ages groups, after excluding the three common external injury causes of death from analysis. Overall, lupus was among the top 20 leading causes of death in females between the age of 5 and 64. This study’s revelations on the effects of lupus on black and Hispanic women is one of the many reasons why last year our excellent staff walked in the Miami segment of the event and we can’t wait to do it again this fall. The Walk to End Lupus is held once a year in various cities across the United States but in order to ultimately help find a cure for lupus, the foundation needs our daily help to bring awareness to lupus. Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can impact any part of the body. It affects millions of people worldwide and is challenging to live with an extremely difficult to treat. Despite the widespread prevalence of lupus and seriousness of the disease, rarely is it recognized as one of the leading-causes-of-death in young women between the ages of 15 and 24. At times a large percentage of deaths from lupus get attributed with the consequences of kidney failure or heart attacks. This study will help open the eyes of those who are not aware of lupus. In addition to awareness, the study goal is to highlight the seriousness of this potentially life-threatening lupus disease. Currently, lupus is not in the CDC’s annual selected list of causes of death for women. With the continued efforts of the Lupus Foundation of America and the supporting group of organizations, businesses and individuals more awareness can be raised and as a result, government leaders will form new policies that will enable more funding for research that will ultimately lead to a cure. That is why we at RMG Event Staffing look for every opportunity to spread the word and the message the foundation is trying to get across.
