Manpower Inc., Manpower’s parent company and the world’s first innovative workforce solutions company, today announces that it is changing its name to ManpowerGroup, reflecting the organisation’s comprehensive and diverse range of companies. It is differentiating and evolving its brand to reflect the new complexity and challenges brought by the Human Age. ManpowerGroup is also revealing new logos that clearly connect the organisation’s working brands together.
Manpower, as part of ManpowerGroup, is evolving to respond to the Human Age, a new era identified by ManpowerGroup as a time when individuals are beginning to take centre stage. Unleashing human potential is becoming the key building block to growth; for employers, business growth will now come from having access to talent rather than access to capital.
Today’s talent shortage and mismatch – in which employers are eager to hire the right talent, but can’t identify the right candidates – demand a holistic global solutions provider, as ManpowerGroup research continues to reveal worldwide. The results of Manpower’s fifth annual Talent Shortage Survey revealed that 31 percent of employers worldwide are having difficulty filling positions due to the lack of suitable talent available in their markets.
Mark Cahill, Managing Director of Manpower UK, explains: “We recognise that in order to successfully unleash the potential of their workforce, employers demand solutions that are tailored to their needs. At Manpower, we provide clients with those dynamic and flexible solutions under the banner of ManpowerGroup’s family of brands operating worldwide.”
“As an organisation, we continue to evolve, anticipating the ever-increasing sophistication and needs of our clients. As the world of work changes, we will continue to develop innovative workforce solutions that strategically confront the complexity of the Human Age. We have seen this challenge coming and are helping our clients and candidates to succeed in this changing labour market.”
Unveiling the new parent company name and logo in New York with a simultaneous unveiling of signage at the company’s global headquarters in Milwaukee, Jeffrey A. Joerres, Chairman, CEO and President of ManpowerGroup, adds: “We are pioneering what it means to be an innovative workforce solutions company not only for our industry, but for the wider business services sector and ultimately for the benefit of our existing and future clients and candidates. We have an unmatched global footprint with local expertise and understanding of each market in which we work, and take a holistic view of the world of work – gained by interviewing more than 12 million people each year and working with hundreds of thousands of companies of all sizes globally. This insight means we have a deep understanding of human potential and are uniquely positioned to offer innovative workforce solutions that help organisations and individuals win.”
ManpowerGroup is able to deliver solutions to clients across recruitment and assessment, training and development, career management, outplacement, outsourcing and workforce consulting. Together, ManpowerGroup’s innovative workforce solutions deliver faster time to value to help clients win in the marketplace.
