Public Affairs at the Adecco Group

The Adecco Group aims to make the future work for everyone. In order to do so effectively, efficiently and sustainably for the benefit of all stakeholders, we are impacted by how governments set up an enabling environment, crafting balanced policy and ensuring well-structured and functioning labour markets. Therefore, the Group Public Affairs connects and engages with key institutional stakeholders and relevant policymakers to create the most favourable environment to have a thriving labour market. We advocate to global, regional and local institutional stakeholders about the need to enable open and flexible labour markets that can provide opportunities and protections for all types of workers.

Policies and Guidelines

The Group’s approach to public policy engagement is guided by our Public Affairs Principles and Guidelines. These ensure transparency, ethical conduct, and adherence to anti-bribery, -corruption, and -trust regulations, enabling us to advocate responsibly and constructively.

In our engagement we focus on themes central to our purpose, including promoting efficient and dynamic labour markets, tackling skills shortages, supporting just transitions in the green and digital economies, and enabling fair and sustainable talent mobility. Through our partnerships with international organisations, industry federations, and employer networks, we amplify our impact and help drive systemic change.
