SkillsetGroup Holds Safety ‘Revival’ for Hundreds of Client Workers

SkillsetGroup staffing and consulting company’s Occupational Health and Safety Manager Jesus Arredondo conducts a workplace safety seminar 5-14-2021 at the Chapel of Change grounds in Paramount.

The revival tent at the Chapel of Change in Paramount was filled with people all day May 15 hearing the good word – hundreds of people attended in groups of about 80 throughout the day.

The good word these congregants were receiving came not from the church pastor; however, but from Jesus Arredondo, the Occupational Health and Safety Manager at SkillsetGroup staffing and consulting company. Arredondo and our cadre of HR experts held the event to give the employees at one of our larger clients vital training on workplace safety; the dangers of horseplay around industrial equipment and proper workplace conduct to avoid sexual harassment complaints.

SkillsetGroup’s safety-focused tent revival is just one example of how our experts innovate to deliver our services, educational or otherwise. With COVID-19 restrictions like masking and social distancing still in effect, how do you train 400 employees on safety… safely?

The SkillsetGroup safety and HR services team is ready to train your workers on proper workplace conduct and safety practices.

The SkillsetGroup safety and HR services team is ready to train your workers on proper workplace conduct and safety practices.

We took the initiative to reach out to the Chapel of Change with a donation in return for use of their beautiful, well-manicured grounds, complete with parking and a tent already set up. We provided the church with extra revenue to support their local mission and our clients with a COVID-secure, outdoor space already outfitted for a compelling presentation with plenty of room for social distancing.

That’s the kind of win-win proposition we love at SkillsetGroup, and proof that no obstacle, pandemic or otherwise, will stop our team from delivering for our clients.

These particular trainings satisfy the educational requirements of Senate Bill 778, but we aren’t just checking boxes with our safety trainings. The safety education we provide follows the letter and spirit of the law, typically translating to dramatic drops in workplace accidents and worker complaints for our clients.

Now that’s a reason to shout, “hallelujah!”

Inc. magazine this month revealed that SkillsetGroup, a dynamic staffing company focusing on manufacturing, engineering, IT and technical staffing is not only the fastest-growing staffing company in California for a fourth year running, but its high on the list of fastest-growing companies in the state, overall.

Inc. places SkillsetGroup at 36 on its second annual Inc. 5000 Regionals: California, a list of the most prestigious of the fastest-growing California-based private companies. Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the California economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses.

“We’re proud of our SkillsetGroup team members, who have outperformed themselves year after year,” said founder and CEO Clint Armstrong. “While many businesses were decimated or shuttered by the COVID-19 pandemic, we thrived as our mission of creating a culture of long-term retention helped stabilize our revenues and grow our customer base. We opened a new office in Riverside in 2020. This year, we’re poised to occupy a new, local headquarters and expand out-of-state to Texas and Nevada.”

The companies on the Inc. list show stunning rates of growth across all industries in California. Between 2017 and 2019, these 250 private companies had an average growth rate of 535 percent and, in 2019 alone, they employed more than 40,000 people and added nearly $7 billion to the California economy.

SkillsetGroup nearly doubled its revenue from $24 million in 2019 to $47 million in 2020, despite economic pressures of the pandemic. This year, the company predicts revenues reaching $68 million, Armstrong said.
