MILWAUKEE (July 11, 2006) – Persistently high fuel costs are cutting into U.S. workers’ leisure time activities and may also contribute to job turnover, based on a recent survey by Manpower Inc. According to 900 respondents in an online survey conducted in May and June, 76 percent confirmed that rising gasoline prices are impacting their work/life balance.

As a value-based organization, Manpower understands the role diversity plays in the success of our company. Working with minority suppliers, embracing the diverse backgrounds of our employees and reaching out to our community are not just the right things to do; they are also parts of an essential business strategy. In order to realize our vision of being the best worldwide provider of higher-value staffing services and the center for quality employment opportunities, we must embrace diversity - in our workforce, in our strategic partnerships and in our communities.

Manpower has developed many programs to help strengthen the diversity of our communities worldwide and create opportunities for all people to participate in the workforce. A few examples of our recent programs and partnerships include:

Manpower Unlimited, Belgium
In 2000, Manpower Belgium developed a recruitment and selection service for the disabled, working in partnership with the local disabled community. The service is provided by a mobile team of Manpower employees equipped with a specially adapted vehicle that is used to go out and meet with candidates and companies to generate employment opportunities that match the skills of the disabled individuals. Candidates are provided with career guidance, legal and administrative advice, and other personalized services. Employers are provided with feasibility studies of their work environment, the recruitment and selection of candidates, training and assistance with integration of the candidate into the workplace.


Diversity Partnership Program, USA
Our Diversity Partnership Program in the USA is a collaborative venture with firms owned by women, minorities, disadvantaged and small businesses who share our mission of providing quality services to their customers. Our goal is to help those businesses that participate in our program to acquire the skills, knowledge, and abilities necessary to grow and maintain a successful business. Manpower is committed to developing relationships with diversity vendors who can benefit from working with us, and can enhance the already innovative workforce solutions we offer our customers.

Caminemos Juntos, Mexico
In 2001, Manpower Mexico launched an innovative program named Caminemos Juntos (Let's walk together) to bring job opportunities to disabled people, in partnership with Mexico's Secretary of Labor, non-government organizations (NGOs), interested companies and educational institutions. The program is expanding today to meet the needs of a larger pool of candidates, and other disadvantaged groups in the community.
