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.
