Manpower Inc. has a deep heritage of operating at the highest level of integrity. Our strong commitment to responsible business practices is reflected in everything we do - from the transparency of our communications with shareholders to the unparalleled benefits that we offer to our temporary employees and contractors. We strive to provide a great work environment for our employees and to be a beacon of integrity for our clients

Manpower’s approach to social responsibility is driven by our Global Values that determine the way in which we do business. We are committed to: respect for people, clients and community and the role of work in their lives; sharing our knowledge and expertise to develop sustainable workforce practices throughout the world; and striving for excellence through innovation to develop socially inclusive working environments for the long-term.

Manpower's business is, in itself, socially responsible because everything we do is geared toward connecting people with jobs, which enables individuals to support themselves and their families. Our free training programs allow all of our permanent, contract and temporary employees to improve their skills and grow in their careers, thereby improving their long-term career potential. Our outplacement services ensure that, when a client has to eliminate jobs, it is done in a manner that enables individuals to receive the support, training and career counseling they require in finding their way back to employment.

We strive to be socially responsible in every aspect of our business; however, we focus our resources primarily on where we can have the most impact, in creating a bridge to employment for disadvantaged individuals through various workforce development programs around the world. We are also dedicated to increasing awareness of, and opposition to, labor practices that exploit individuals, particularly those that are vulnerable.

Manpower stands for Manpower stands against
Creating a bridge to employment for disadvantaged individuals around the world. Our focus is on providing jobs and job training for the following groups, working in partnership with governments and NGOs, as appropriate:
  • Long-term unemployed/under-employed
  • People with disabilities
  • Disenfranchised individuals
  • Victims of disaster
  • Victims of exploitation
  • Refugees
  • Youth
Labor practices that exploit individuals, particularly those who are vulnerable. Our focus is on increasing awareness of, and opposition to, these practices, until such time as we can provide a bridge to employment for these individuals:
  • Human trafficking
  • Child labor
  • Illegally low wages paid to vulnerable individuals
  • Exploitation of disadvantaged individuals
  • Unsafe working conditions
