We understand that a sound diversity program is a critical component of our values and our success. In order to realize our vision of being the best worldwide provider of higher-value staffing services and the center for quality employment opportunities, Manpower must continuously dare to innovate and be pioneers. That means reflecting the diversity in our markets and in our communities.
At Manpower, it is our fundamental belief that work plays a key role in people's lives. We know that working with suppliers from diverse backgrounds is not only the right thing to do - for us, it is essential to our business strategy of furthering work in people's lives. We are committed to learning and growing by sharing knowledge and resources with our diversity partners.
Manpower supplier diversity program

Supplier Diversity Program Overview
Our Supplier Diversity Program was designed to provide innovative approaches to recruiting, developing and increasing our diverse supplier base.

Approach
Our Supplier Diversity Program includes three levels of participation. Level choice depends upon the diversity supplier?s size, experience, business operations and interest. Individual programs are customized to maximize the supplier?s growth potential. Programs may include sales and marketing strategies; operational efficiencies; recruiting strategies; industry trends; and training in legal, risk management, proposal writing and presentation skills.
Level 1 : Mentoring
At this level of our program, we help each diversity supplier develop a detailed, time-based plan, customized to specific business needs.
Level 2 : Internship
This level is designed for diversity suppliers interested in business opportunities specific to Manpower. We share our industry expertise, deep knowledge of skill sets and understanding of customer expectations.
Level 3 : Partnership
For diversity suppliers with established excellent business practices, this level provides an opportunity to grow business by partnering with Manpower.
