Diversity

We build a better workforce one person at a time.

Long before corporate diversity directors, diversity departments, diversity goals, Minority and Women Business Enterprises and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Manpower was finding the best in everyone and putting it to work. In fact, for more than 60 years, our business has been guided by the belief that there's a role for every individual in the world of work.

Beginning in 1948, Manpower was a pioneer in creating opportunities for women, when it was not yet socially accepted for women to work outside of the home and develop careers. We also played an important role in providing jobs for people of color in the 1960s, the most pivotal era for racial diversity in the United States workforce.

Our leadership in diversity continues today. We promote diversity within our ranks, with our suppliers and with our clients. We strive to create inclusive environments that embrace those with diverse characteristics, including gender, ethnicity, religion, physical ability, age, sexual orientation, work experience, social class and educational background.

The nature of our business has given us a privileged position to promote diversity. We take great pride in furthering the potential of individuals of diverse cultures, talents and experience. We always consider what people can do, versus what they can't do. And we make every effort to provide opportunities for anyone who is seeking the rewards and dignity of work.
