MILWAUKEE, Oct. 24, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- ManpowerGroup
(NYSE: MAN) today launches its new Sustainability Plan. The plan
outlines ManpowerGroup's commitment to creating meaningful,
sustainable employment by getting people Ready for Work, helping
them stay relevant by Skilling Up and improving diversity in
Integrated and Inclusive workplaces.
The report is timely. Changes in the world of work are
accelerating at a pace and scale never seen before. Technology
continues to disrupt, creating new jobs and radically changing
others. The goal today is no longer finding the job for life, but
to develop the skills, experience and expertise necessary to be
employable for the long term.
As skills needs change rapidly, employability depends not just
on what people already know, but on how well they learn, apply,
adapt. The report outlines how ManpowerGroup partners with clients,
NGOs and governments to nurture learnability — the desire and
ability to learn new skills — to help people become and stay
employable throughout their career journey.
"In this world of constant change, technological disruption and
political uncertainty, we see the much-talked about polarization of
the population playing out in front of our eyes," said Jonas Prising, Chairman & CEO of
ManpowerGroup. "There has never been a more important time for
leaders to be responsive and responsible. As businesses we need to
play a role in ensuring we are enhancing people's lives and are
part of the solution."
"Our new Sustainability Plan is our commitment to doing just
that. And we do this not just because it's the right thing to do,
but because it makes business sense. From Milwaukee to
Mumbai, our work each day across
the world supports progress on the UN's Sustainable Development
Goals around Education, Equality and Decent Work for Economic
Growth which are directly related to ManpowerGroup's core
business."
As the world's leading innovative workforce solutions company,
ManpowerGroup's core expertise is matching the talent businesses
need with the skills individuals have. Partnering with more than
400,000 clients, ManpowerGroup provides work and employability
programs for more than 3.5 million people every year and employment
advice for more than 10 million.
ManpowerGroup's industry-leading position in sustainability is
widely recognized; most recently ManpowerGroup was named on the
2016 Dow Jones Sustainability North America Index for the ninth
consecutive year and is the only company in the industry to be
named to both the 2016 World's Most Ethical Companies and 2016
Fortune's 2016 World's Most Admired Companies.
