DEI Corporate Studies at Manpower Group

"We strive for an inclusive culture where everyone feels valued"

As ManpowerGroup, we have been supporting our business partners in providing meaningful and sustainable employment every year for 75 years, in 75 countries around the world. We aim to enable organizations to adapt to the rapidly transforming business world and to adjust change and transformation as a company in line with their purpose of existence. Of course, the main source of transformation is people. Therefore, companies can achieve sustainable success, which is their natural goal, by caring about this resource.

At ManpowerGroup, we believe that leveraging the diversity of thought and experience within our company will produce extraordinary results. That's why we continually strive for a diverse workforce and an inclusive culture where everyone feels valued, listened to, and able to discover their personal best.

In this regard, we have won many awards around the world; The titles of the World's Most Ethical Company for 15 years and the Best Workplace in the Disability Equality Index for 7 years are some of our achievements. We have a great desire to implement our DEI strategy and believe that these practices make a significant contribution to individuals' feeling of belonging in business life.

As ManpowerGroup, we care about the value of polyphony and the contribution of diversity of thought and experience in our organization and the business world, and we take steps to develop without losing harmony. As a company that has determined its DEI strategies and actions accordingly, we want individuals to live together, with equal rights, in harmony, at every point we contact in the world, and we take steps in this direction.

We aim to ensure that the initiatives we have taken in recent years come into contact with our growing team. In this context;

• We implement inclusive leadership and culture development programs.

• By creating relevant field communities, we bring together our employees with similar sensitivities and thoughts in all countries and enable them to produce projects.

• We organize our practices to ensure equal working conditions.

• While we work to improve the diversity of our employees and candidate pools across ManpowerGroup, we attach equal importance to ensuring that the suppliers we work with reflect these values.

Our primary goal with our projects is to share our culture with the individuals we work with all over the world. The DEI culture and development strategies we have internalized will be a good example to all our business partners and suppliers that our teams come into contact with.

We meet with hundreds of thousands of companies and more than 1 million candidates and employees all over the world every year, so we have the opportunity to keep our finger on the pulse of the business world in all sectors. With all this responsibility, we also have the opportunity to experience the reflections of the culture we adopt in the business world.

Another goal of our projects is to undertake innovative projects with the opportunity brought by our diversity. We aim to bring a brighter future to the projects we undertake on a voluntary basis.
