“We are managing through the current market cycle with
discipline and agility as economic uncertainty and client caution
continue to weigh on the temporary staffing industry,” said Taryn
Owen, President and CEO of TrueBlue. “Our teams are staying highly
engaged with clients to address their immediate and evolving needs.
While current market dynamics are challenging, evolving workforce
needs and structural staffing shortages will create compelling
opportunities for our business that align with our competitive
strengths.”
“We have made significant progress advancing our strategic
priorities which will enable us to capture market share, deliver
more sustainable growth and enhance our long-term profitability,”
continued Ms. Owen. “Our commitment to digital transformation with
the continued rollout of our new, proprietary JobStack app, along
with expansion in attractive end markets such as skilled trades and
healthcare will fuel our growth as demand rebounds. Additionally,
simplifying our organizational structure and taking decisive cost
actions not only aligns TrueBlue with the current environment, but
ensures we are even better positioned to capitalize on growth
opportunities and expand our profitability as conditions
improve.”
