TrueBlue (NYSE: TBI):
Who:
Patrick Beharelle, president and chief operating officer, TrueBlue.
Why:
TrueBlue’s PeopleReady brand is hiring 2,000 people in the Houston
area for clients to help in the recovery effort. Beharelle can
provide context on this recovery operation compared with others the
company has aided, including Hurricane Katrina and Super Storm Sandy.
Beharelle can address:
-
How the company is mobilizing workers around Houston for
debris/damage removal as well as construction activity during
rebuilding. In addition to rebuilding the community, these jobs are a
valuable option for residents who have been displaced from their work
due to the storm and floods;
-
How the company is making it easier for people to sign up for work. Once
registered, workers can use the company’s JobStack mobile app to
search for jobs without having to go to a branch office;
-
What the company is doing to prepare for Hurricane Irma, which
is projected to strike Florida later this week.
Where:
Patrick is currently at TrueBlue’s support centers in Chicago, Ill. or
can travel to a Chicago studio.
