OUR VALUES
Putting People First
PLACING PEOPLE FIRST
People should come first when you’re creating a solution to a problem. By offering a tool that allows them to increase efficiency, we recognize their value and foster respect and growth.
CREATING A POSITIVE IMPACT
When businesses perform better, so do their people and their communities. By creating a tool that allows them to work and build inclusive environments, it impacts the whole community.
EMPOWERING PERFORMANCE
Tools are only as effective as the people who use them. Slate is designed by people, for people who want to empower those with the ability to not only manage their world, but improve it.
INCLUSION AND DIVERSITY
At Slate, we believe that ideas on a chalkboard are only valuable when collaboration, inclusion and respect have been involved. We think this is when the very best ideas and problem solving happen because it is the culmination of different perspectives, varying experiences.
OUR EXPERIENCE
Built & Designed by a Staffing Agency
We understand first-hand the issues and frustrations that come when trying to staff companies in real-time. When filling absences, it’s crucial to find the right person for the job as quickly as possible. We took our knowledge and designed a system that removes the frustration and puts the power back into the staff. This increases efficiency and productivity and cultivates a happy culture. We call this a ‘win-win’, but you may call it an “A+”.
OUR TEAM
Professionals Who Care
We are collaborators and problem solvers. We believe there is a great solution to every issue, especially when you work with a group of people who are all working toward the saame goal. We have more than 50 years of combined experience in people management, business and company process creation and management. We believe simple is better.
