Palbinder Badesha

Palbinder Badesha, Owner of Express Employment Professionals.  Known for her exceptional leadership and commitment to the community.  Her journey is marked by extraordinary service.

A native of Great Britain, she is frequently described as genuinely amazing, generous, full of warm and welcoming energy, empathetic, curious, and driven.

Palbinder Badesha came to the United States at the end of 2002. She turned quickly to the Corona Chamber as she worked to establish her franchise of Express Employment Professionals during the Great Recession.  This took resilience, determination, and strong leadership skills.   

Palbinder Badesha collaborated with leaders from both sides of the aisle to help encourage state-assisted development of job training programs at her local community college in neighboring Norco, the entire Riverside Community College District and the University of California, Riverside.

As a result of these programs, numerous veterans have received career building work opportunities. Moreover, the U.S. Navy has been encouraged to maintain high tech investments at the Corona Norco Naval Surface Weapons Center, which is responsible for more than $100 million a year in local economic activity.

Seeing the need to bring employers and job seekers together, Palbinder Badesha chaired a job fair for the community through the Corona Chamber in July 2022. The job fair attracted more than 50 participating companies and hundreds of applicants with a few companies hiring on the spot. One corporation hired more than 100 people from the job fair. The success of the 2022 job fair led to a repeat performance in May of 2023.

As a business advocate, she has appeared before her city council and county board of supervisors and embarked on numerous trips to Sacramento and the nation’s capital.
