Lauderdale, FL, August 1, 2003 – Three Hampton Inn Hotels, one Hampton Inn & Suites and one Wingate Inn, all located throughout South Florida, and AlphaStaff Group, Inc., a Business Process Outsourcer (“BPO”) in the Human Resource (“HR”) field, today announced the renewal of their HR Outsourcing and Co-Employment Partnership. Through the relationship, AlphaStaff provides all aspects of HR services, including benefits, benefits administration, payroll, tax filings, loss control, HR training, labor liability management and technology to the 5 hotels located in Southeast Florida, with over 170 employees. “The first several years of our relationship with AlphaStaff proved that the decision to initially partner with them in 2001 was a good one,” said Howard Wolfson, Regional Director of Hospitality Operations, Inc., the general partner of the companies that own the hotels. “We are committed to provide our employees the best possible place to work, while complying with all of the complex laws that affect the workplace. AlphaStaff’s services have proved invaluable in providing just that. AlphaStaff’s services created efficiencies we never would have imagined before, plus control of potential liabilities that arise in the workplace. There was never a question of our desire to extend that relationship. This is especially true as we expand our presence throughout South Florida.” “Our passion for our customers is the most important ingredient for AlphaStaff’s success,” said Jay Starkman, President of AlphaStaff. “Everything we do revolves around ensuring a successful relationship with our customers. The hospitality industry’s complex HR needs allow AlphaStaff to shine with what we do best throughout our relationship – provide top notch HR services, controlling otherwise limitless liability and ensuring the best possible workplace from an HR perspective.
