“Good Afternoon, Standing Partnership (a great place to work)”
By: Amber Morris

Summer Fridays
By: Marijean Jaggers
06/13/2008 - Standing Partnership has taken a cue from several of our clients and instituted "summer Fridays." We've previously offered the option to cut out at noon one Friday a month, provided staff had logged all weekly time before lunchtime. This summer, however, EVERY Friday is a…

Planes and Pedicures
By: Beth Minnigerode
04/24/2008 - With the number of flight delays and cancellations I've experienced lately, I've come to expect that I'll be stranded at an airport for an extra few hours each time I travel. That's why I was so happy to read my St. Louis Business Journal…
The Many Faces of Standing Partnership

04/21/2008 - We had a problem at Standing. No one liked his or her headshot and we all pretty much hate getting our picture taken. Rather than using a photo, I'd been using an avatar that a friend of mine created for me to use on my…
