However, customers asked for the work to be performed at their locations, and the temporary staffing concept was born out of responding to this type of request.

The temporary workers, who were usually female, became known as 'Kelly girls'. In recognition of this, the name of the company was changed to Kelly Girl Service, Inc. in 1957 William Russell Kelly Tribute [http://www.kellyservices.com/web/global/services/en/pages/william_russell_kelly_tribute.html] ] . The term 'Kelly girl' became a widely used term for a temporary worker, regardless of the worker's company affiliation or gender. In 1966 the name of the company was changed to Kelly Services, Inc., in order to reflect an expanding range of services.William Russell Kelly Tribute [http://www.kellyservices.com/web/global/services/en/pages/william_russell_kelly_tribute.html] ]
