The safety of your organization, assets, employees, and Strom temporary workers is one of our top priorities. Contact us to learn more about our approach to safety and the role it plays in everything we do.
Strom’s top priority is the safety of all employees during a labor disruption. Our team can guide you through the selection or even recommend a security partner with expertise in documenting unprotected union activity. We work closely with specialized strike-security providers, in conjunction with your existing security personnel, to build a detailed security plan that’s unique to your facilities and needs. Strom Engineering helps ensure that our clients obtain maximum value from their security vendor and requisite protection of assets and personnel.
Strom Engineering will discretely observe your operations first-hand, consider your company’s objectives, and collaborate with you when developing a staffing plan. We carefully analyze the job roles to determine the necessary skills and experience for each position based on precise client-input. Strom reviews client-administered training and safety requirements to ensure that temporary employees will meet the expectations of your program through orientation at your facility.
We center our recruiting process around the information gathered in the assessment phase. Our recruiters search our existing nation-wide database of employees for the necessary skills and abilities to form a comprehensive list of candidates for your project. In the event that we need to expand our existing database, we will screen additional calls and resumes in order to build the required workforce. In addition to Strom’s standard background checks and drug screenings, our qualification process can include client-specific requests. Strom will continue to maintain your workforce as candidate availability changes.
When a seamless transition to the temporary workforce is critical, Strom will preposition key resources and personnel — ready to be deployed into your facility at a moment’s notice. Pre-deployment can be used for training and orientation and greatly reduces lead time. Strom’s standard approach is to execute pre-deployment quietly, however, these activities can be leveraged by our clients as a display of preparedness.
Safety is a priority, and Strom’s dedicated Safety Team will align our workforce with your organization’s EHS plans, programs, and procedures. After selecting the strongest workers for the project’s specific needs, we deploy your temporary workforce as planned. Strom workforces are supported by Project Managers and Coordinators to ensure all workers are on-time and on-task. Strom Engineering aims to acclimate your new workforce as quickly as possible while keeping the quality of work high. Strom uses multiple strategies to ensure candidate commitment while also maintaining a focused and engaged workforce through disbandment.
When the strike ends, we disband our employees according to the plans and requests of the client. Strom Engineering employees will typically leave immediately, however, we can assist in the transition back to your hourly workforce and cover any anticipated or unexpected gaps.

Strom not only provided the promised services, they over-delivered. Pricing was competitive with other firms considered in the top tier. Strom made me look good.
