Westaff's affiliate in Baton Rouge, Lisa Coleman, was named the largest woman-owned business in the Louisiana Capitol Region by the Greater Baton Rouge Business Report, announced Westaff, Inc. (NASDAQ: WSTF), a leading provider of staffing services.
The honor, in the June 7 edition of the Report, recognized Coleman and Westaff's efforts to attract and retain quality jobs in Louisiana, provide quality temporary, temp to hire and career staffing to Louisiana businesses, and help guide individuals onto the right career paths.

"We do job specific and behavioral testing to recruit the highest quality candidates and find their best work options. We also take the time to really listen to our client companies and uncover their true staffing needs. We strive to take the worry out of hiring."
As for the future, Coleman has recently purchased the Westaff franchise in Lafayette. She is moving another office to a new location in Baton Rouge and in July will open an office in Livingston Parish/Walker.
