Spherion Greater Atlanta Awarded for Fostering An Inclusive, Women-Forward Workplace Amid Rapid Growth

Locally Owned Staffing Firm Recognized for Leadership, Community Engagement, and Commitment to Employee Professional Development

ATLANTA – Spherion Staffing and Recruiting (Spherion) Greater Atlanta announced today that it was recently honored with the Enlightened Employer Award at the 2025 Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce MOXIE Awards. The award comes on the heels of the office’s recent expansion, connecting talent across 10 metro Atlanta counties, with opportunities in industries ranging from professional services and education to light industrial, healthcare, hospitality, and nonprofit organizations. 

The MOXIE Awards, presented annually by the Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce, celebrate women and companies “who are making it happen” in business and the Gwinnett County community. The Enlightened Employer Award goes to a company that embodies a culture of equity and inclusion, is forward-thinking in their support for women employees, and actively encourages gender equality and inclusion.

“We’re honored to receive the Enlightened Employer Award at the MOXIE Awards,” said Aysha Abdullatif, local franchise owner. “This recognition is a celebration of our team’s creativity, collaboration, and dedication to making every employee feel empowered to take ownership of their achievements. It’s a reminder that when we invest in our people and our community, the results extend far beyond the four walls of our office.”

Spherion Greater Atlanta earned the award by fostering a culture where professional growth and everyday support go hand in hand. From pay equity and transparent advancement paths to wellness programs and flexible schedules, the office creates an environment where all colleagues, regardless of gender, can thrive. Leadership encourages team members to step into the spotlight, whether by participating in panels or helping shape organizational decisions. Beyond the office, employees share this purpose-driven mindset in the community through volunteer initiatives and local partnerships.

Another key factor in Spherion Greater Atlanta’s success is their personalized, hands-on recruitment approach. The team goes beyond delivering resumes to build a full picture of each candidate’s motivations, strengths, and work style for prospective employers. This thoughtful approach helps businesses understand the people behind the resumes while ensuring candidates feel supported and advocated for throughout their career journey.

“Our approach isn’t just about matching candidates to jobs—it’s about understanding their strengths, motivations, and goals,” Abdullatif added. “By combining personalized recruiting with a culture that values inclusion and growth, we create opportunities that empower both our clients and our employees. This award reflects that commitment and inspires us to continue making an impact across the Greater Atlanta area.”

Each Spherion office enriches its community by connecting and facilitating employment opportunities every day—and when successful, the office and its investments flow back into the neighborhoods it serves. The power of Spherion is in its local roots.
