Rebecca Rogers Tijerino

CEO of Spherion

BIO: Leading one of the most admired franchise operators in the staffing industry, I work closely with a network of small business owners, who all share my passion for entrepreneurship and people. I firmly believe in the power of employment to lift people up, to propel them, their families and their communities to grow and prosper. That is why I have dedicated much of my career to the staffing industry. We have a pivotal role to play in the local communities we serve. We help people navigate a workplace undergoing transformation, as much from demographics, economics, technology and innovation as from changing attitudes and expectations. What motivates people has been the subject of more than 20 years of research by Spherion. The Emerging Workforce® Study takes a comprehensive look at changes in the American workforce in the context of ongoing social and economic events. It explores both employee and employer views on a range of issues, such as compensation, work/life balance, automation and diversity & inclusion. The study provides insights that employers can use to strengthen their ability to attract, engage and retain great employees. Our ability to understand the workforce and the issues that drive performance is one of the factors that distinguishes Spherion as a leader in recruiting and staffing.
