But not only is it a celebration for our business, but it\u2019s also a celebration for our Indianapolis office. LGC Indianapolis is our flagship office and continues to help drive LGC\u2019s success to this day.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In this employee spotlight you\u2019ll meet Elias Valdivia, Senior Branch Manager of LGC Indianapolis. He\u2019s an LGC veteran who\u2019s been with LGC for 13 years this July. Get to know him below and his journey with us throughout the years. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Meet Elias Valdivia<\/span><\/b><\/h4>\n<h5>The beginning<\/h5>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Though now an Indiana resident, Elias was born and raised in <\/span><span data-contrast=\"none\">Guadalajara, Mexico. He came from a close family and was one of seven siblings. Before joining LGC, he worked for another temp agency in Indiana as a housekeeper. Having this experience in the hospitality industry would come in handy later on in his career with LGC.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Enter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/kim-mcguire-255824b0\/\">Kim McGuire<\/a>. Kim joined LGC in 2009 and is now a <a href=\"https:\/\/lgcassociates.com\/es\/leadership-team\/\">Regional Vice President<\/a>, overseeing the Indianapolis office. She happened to stop by the hotel Elias was working at and spoke to him about opportunities with LGC. Soon after getting in contact with Kim, he made the decision to take her advice and start working for LGC.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Joining LGC<\/h5>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">He first started out in room service. Eventually Kim asked Elias if he was interested in working in the LGC office as a receptionist. Elias was nervous because he had never done anything like that before. Kim assured him they would help him learn. Elias took the job and soon enough, Kim was asking him to come to sales meetings.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Elias was learning more and more the longer he worked with LGC. After encountering an angry client, he learned the importance of confidence and speaking with authority. He was then promoted to an Assistant Staffing Manager and after only two months was promoted as Staffing Manager. Elias was thrilled at the opportunity and credits Kim for challenging him and helping him get into this role.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>What he&#8217;s learned<\/h5>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Elias thinks the reason he was promoted so quickly was due to him \u201cgetting out of his comfort zone.\u201d The more he talked to different people, the better he got at it. He believes in going above and beyond for his clients. Elias shared a story of when he got a last-minute call from a client, needing some jobs filled. He found people to fill the job, but they needed a ride to the site. Elias picked them up and drove them to the job.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Working for LGC has taught him the importance of treating your employees well. \u201cYou want your employees to trust you, you must earn their trust. I don\u2019t want my employees to see me only as their boss.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<h5>Advice<\/h5>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Elias shares advice for others working in a temp position that would like to eventually move up: \u201cYou must get out of your comfort zone; you can do more than you think. Even if you don\u2019t speak great English, don\u2019t let that stop you.\u201d He talks about the importance of taking chances and trying something new. He also emphasizes how your coworkers are vital to your growth.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">We asked Elias, why LGC? He spoke about how fast LGC is growing. How he\u2019s been given a lot of opportunities to grow and equip himself with the tools he needs. Elias also said he has stayed with LGC because he enjoys being there for the Hispanic community; he has gotten to meet (and help!) a lot of people through working at LGC.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Elias ends with a few words of wisdom. \u201cBe yourself, trust yourself and keep good relationships with your clients. They will remember you.\u201d<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:276}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This May, LGC
