Synergis Empowers Women's Leadership; Tracey Klein Takes Helm as President

Synergis, an award-winning workforce solutions partner, has announced a new leadership structure aimed at fostering progress and strategic growth. The company, which has enjoyed 25 years of exceptional leadership under founder Doug Ross, has separated the roles of CEO and president to enhance its strategic focus. Effective July 1, Ross will continue as CEO, concentrating on shaping the company's strategic ambitions, while Tracey Klein, a seasoned professional in the sector, will assume the role of president.

Throughout its history, Synergis has demonstrated a commitment to adaptation and expansion, evolving from a technology staffing provider to a consultative and value-adding partner for clients. The company has strategically broadened its capabilities to include creative/marketing and learning & development specialists, aligning with its core purpose of delivering solutions that drive business outcomes. Notably, Synergis has received industry recognition, including the prestigious Best of Staffing Client and Talent Awards for Service Excellence for nine consecutive years, as recognized by ClearlyRated.

Klein, who has served as Synergis' executive vice president since 2021, brings extensive business knowledge and a distinguished career to her new role as president. She was also honored on the Staffing Industry Analyst's (SIA) Global Power 100 Women in Staffing list. During her tenure, Klein has led Synergis through significant growth by implementing new technologies, emphasizing operational excellence, and fostering a unified workforce with shared objectives. The company's revenue has seen organic increases of 40% and 32% in 2021 and 2022, respectively, with further growth projected for 2023.

Recent reports from the American Staffing Association indicate a significant rise in female CEOs and owners in the staffing industry, reaching 42% in 2022 compared to less than 20% in 2020. Klein's appointment aligns with this trend and reflects the sector's commitment to advancing gender equality. Synergis, known for its dedication to diversity programs and providing opportunities for women in top leadership positions, has 60% of its executive team comprised of female employees, who also form the majority of the overall workforce.

With Ross and Klein at the helm, Synergis is poised to achieve new levels of success. Klein expresses optimism for the company's future, anticipating rapid growth and a continued focus on operational excellence. Ross, pleased with Klein's appointment, praises her as an industry innovator and looks forward to collaborating with her in the new leadership structure, confident that Synergis will thrive under her guidance.

The new leadership structure positions Synergis for scalable growth and capitalizes on industry advancements. Clients, consultants, and employees can expect exceptional support, exciting developments, and impactful solutions, benefiting from Ross' proven track record of successful growth and Klein's dedication to pioneering within the staffing sector. The company is primed to seize opportunities and elevate its position in the industry.
