Connecting individuals to the dignity and independence of work is the very core of ManpowerGroup's mission and has been from the day we launched our company over 60 years ago.

Whether an individual is an experienced chemical engineer looking to advance his career in the Middle East or a hearing-impaired young person trying to land her first job, ManpowerGroup provides a wide selection of career development services that give people the opportunities they seek. This mission has propelled our growth from a single office in 1948 to a global corporation with over 30,000 employees in 82 countries and territories today.

At the most fundamental level, our business is an ongoing demonstration of social responsibility in action. In the Human Age, everything we do is geared toward unleashing human potential by connecting people with jobs, which enables individuals to support themselves and their families. Every single day, we change thousands of lives for the better. We work hard to eliminate all forms of employment discrimination and provide people from all walks of life with sustainable livelihoods. At the same time, we provide our clients with the talented individuals they need to run their operations more effectively.

Social Responsibility is in our DNA. It is deeply embedded in our culture. It is the way we pursue our business that has earned us a reputation as a knowledgeable, trusted source for innovative solutions that bring job seekers and employers together, a reputation confirmed and lauded by Ethisphere, Fortune Inc., and many other awards.
