The Adecco Group: Annual Report 2022

At the Adecco Group, our purpose – to make the future work for everyone – inspires and connects us all. Through our three global business units – Adecco, Akkodis and LHH – we enable sustainable and lifelong employability for individuals, deliver digital and engineering solutions to power the Smart Industry transformation, and empower organisations to optimise their workforces. The Adecco Group leads by example and is committed to creating an inclusive culture and supporting resilient economies and communities. Now more than ever, people are the most crucial asset to help solve the global challenges facing societies. That is why the Adecco Group is committed to enabling the talent and skills needed for a future where everyone can build a rewarding career. And this is what it means to be a purpose-driven organisation.

Our Future@Work strategy was designed to address the megatrends transforming the world of work. Since then, increased political and economic volatility and the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic have accelerated many of the shifts already underway. In the developed labour markets, 2022 was characterised by a global scarcity of talent, the need to upskill workers to navigate the green and digital transitions, and the rise of the human-centric organisation. The Future@Work strategy aligns our businesses to capture the opportunities created by these trends. A cornerstone of our strategy was the formation of our Global Business Units (GBUs). Adecco, LHH and Akkodis, each with their own bold vision, contributing to – and benefiting from – the Group’s position as the world’s leading talent partner. By increasing our exposure to higher-growth, higher-value and tech-led solutions we are focused on improving the quality of earnings for the Group in a sustainable way.
