Love Letters from Our Associates

I’ve been with the org since 2010 and have continually felt motivated, energized and challenged. We work with great people who take a lot of pride in what they do - which is to build Brand Love for customers, every day.

I’ve worked with Staples for 18 years. Staples cares about their associates, with lots of friendly fun to keep you happy and motivated. Longevity here isn’t just about tenure - it’s about being part of a company that values people.

This company encourages learning to advance your career and improve your ability to do your job well. Flexible time off, promotes family, good benefits, and people who care about you as an individual. It’s place where growth and well-being go hand in hand.

Staples Promo is a place where collaboration, joy, and branded merchandise converge to deliver outstanding outcomes for our customers. I'm lucky to work here.

I love what we do and why we do it, we are the Brand Ambassadors for our customers. I love the flexibility of my workday and the freedom to think outside the box. If you are a creative forward thinking individual, then Staples is the place for you!

At Staples Promotional Products, there is a never ending desire to succeed. Creative solutions keep the organization fired up and focused. New challenges every day, and supportive leadership to accomplish. I am always learning, every day is different. And best of all, we put our customers' needs at the center of our work. We truly value each other as individuals, many calling this work team their work family. I am supported when I need to balance work and life. Benefits are fantastic.

Working at SPP feels like being part of a creative, driven team that genuinely cares... about each other, our customers, and building brands people love. It's a place where big ideas are encouraged, collaboration is natural, and every day brings the chance to make an impact while having fun doing it.

Four-peat!

For the fourth year in a row, PPAI has named Staples Promo one of the Greatest Companies to Work For.

Business Resource Groups (BRGs) drive engagement and inclusion.​

BRGs are a cornerstone of the associate experience, open to all. They amplify diverse voices, foster inclusion, and create opportunities for engagement across Staples.​

BRG Members:

  • Mentor and support one another
  • Assist with talent and recruitment
  • Share insights through company-wide broadcasts
  • Help optimize merchandise assortments for broader apparel.

Each BRG has an executive sponsor, ensuring every voice is heard at the highest levels.​

Although Staples Promo associates represent just 18% of the entire Staples workforce, they chair or co-chair half of all BRGs—a powerful testament to leadership and commitment to inclusion.​

We enhance employee engagement and values alignment with two associate recognition programs.

Our talented associates thrive on creating experiences that help clients celebrate their people, culture and brand. We do the same for them. Associates who exemplify our values are eligible for recognition and rewards from two unique programs: the PROPS Program and the Believe & Achieve!> Program.

Both allow employees to receive recognition from management and to share recognition with one another. Both also utilize the very same software and global awards assortment we use to create client recognition programs.
