Social responsibility
Our approach to social responsibility is driven by 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.
The dignity of work, employment opportunities for all, ethical and effective business practices, a sustainable environment and successful local communities. We provide opportunities for work and we help clients succeed. When appropriate, we leverage our core competencies in partnership with governments, businesses and/or NGOs to focus on special initiatives that help to provide jobs and job training for the following groups:
- Long-term unemployed/under-employed
- People with disabilities
- Disenfranchised individuals (minorities, immigrants)
- Victims of disaster (tsunami, hurricanes)
- Victims of exploitation (trafficking, etc.)
- Refugees
- Youth
Practices that exploit people, and limit opportunities for individuals to fully enjoy the dignity of work, especially the most vulnerable in society. We attempt to reduce abuse, focusing on creating awareness of, and opposition to, the following practices, until such time as we can help provide a bridge to employment for affected individuals.
- Human trafficking (sex trade, slave labor)
- Child labor
- Illegally low wages paid to vulnerable individuals
- Exploitation of disadvantaged individuals
- Unsafe working conditions
Our mission
Connecting an individual to the dignity and independence of work is the core of Manpower's mission and has been from the day we launched our company 60 years ago.
