About Staff Shop’s Founder & CEO: As an Indigenous-French-Canadian female and entrepreneur, Jennifer dreamed of leading a purpose driven organization, from anywhere in the world - that employs top talent who are hungry to serve, grow and leave a legacy worth following. Staff Shop now provides the platform to keep that dream alive. Jennifer’s story is one that celebrates the triumph of Good over Evil. The odds were stacked against her as a survivor of oppression faced by indigenous women including; alcoholism, abuse, neglect, trauma, abandonment and imposter syndrome. She is now focused on breaking the silence, ending generational curses and stopping unhealthy cycles. Driven by Faith-Passion-Freedom at her core, there is no limit to the positive impact Staff Shop can have on humanity. And that is what brings Jennifer joy and energy daily to do what she does best, and inspire others to reach their full potential. Visit Jennifer’s Speaker Page www.jmenardshand.com

Mission: We exist to showcase the value in people, business and experiences. 

Value Proposition: Elevating People, Business & Experiences! 

Vision: Bringing people together by honouring human values and efficient, effective, scalable practices across the globe.

Purpose Statement: Our purpose is to practice servant leadership and remain agile to God’s calling by using the gifts, resources and blessings he provides to lead a profitable organization devoted to giving back and moving His Kingdom forward. 

Core Values: 

FAITH is what guides us: We have Faith in our people and our processes - and are always optimistic and supportive of Company goals. We never lose sight of the big picture or give up on the company, ourselves or others around us. We focus on solutions, not problems.

PASSION is what fuels us: We have Passion for our work, keeping a positive and energetic demeanour and inspiring others to do the same. We are true to who we are and what our purpose is. We are truthful, transparent and goal oriented - if our passion is waning due to being in the wrong role or due to personal reasons, we discuss and solve the issue, rather than bringing the team down or suffering in silence.

FREEDOM is what inspires us; We honour and support the Freedom we’ve earned and continue to create at Staff Shop via our remote model, opportunities we provide employees, processes, systems, resources tools and goals we have in place. We celebrate freeing up time to enjoy a work-life balance, freedom of speech and ideas, freedom to fail and forgive each other, freedom to be and believe in what you want without judgement or discrimination, and the responsibility to do the same for others. It is our priority to value and protect the freedom we have and inspire others to achieve the same.

Community & Social Impact

Diversity: Staff Shop partners with a variety of government and community-based employment programs to provide us access to candidates of diverse socio-economic, cultural and ability backgrounds seeking employment.  We conduct a voluntary and confidential quarterly self-declaration survey of our temporary and internal workforce. Our current stats demonstrate that our workforce consists of:

• 67% Female
• 50% Visible Minorities
• 21% LGBTQ2+
• 21% Disabled
• 12% Indigenous

Aside from being certified as Indigenous and Women-owned, our Founder & CEO further supports women as a member of SheEO (assisting women in creating new business models and systems), AMK Global (an organization that assists immigrate candidates in pursuing their careers in Canada), Universal Women's Network (a Canadian women’s community where professional women build relevant connections), and Futurpreneur (a non-profit Toronto organization providing mentoring and support to new young business owners).

Our employees take an active role in charitable fund-raising events to assist people in our city who are in need.
