Spherion Corp. has changed its name to SFN Group. The company will continue to trade under the symbol SFN on the New York Stock Exchange.


“The SFN Group name clearly defines each of our businesses under one unified company,” said SFN Group president and CEO Roy Krause. “Our new name also more accurately reflects our evolution to a strategic workforce solutions provider. It reinforces our commitment to provide our customers with specialized services to help them more effectively acquire, deploy and manage the workforce.”


SFN Group’s divisions include Technisource, Tatum, Mergis, Todays Office Professionals, SourceRight Solutions and Spherion Staffing Services.


SFN Group (then Spherion Corp.) ranked as the seventh-largest staffing firm in the U.S. on Staffing Industry Analysts’ 2009 list of largest U.S. staffing firms.
