Bringing Its Nearly 60-years Staffing Experience to China

SHANGHAI, China, Aug. 15 /Xinhua-PRNewswire/ -- Manpower, a world leading employment service company, recently obtained a temporary staffing business license. Recognized as an industry expert with nearly 60 years of staffing experience, operating under the highest ethical standard and codes of conduct, Manpower was granted this privilege as the pilot by the Shanghai Personnel Bureau under the authorization from Ministry of Personnel of PRC.

"The lately announced China Labor Contract Law effective on the 1st of January 2008 for the first time regulates the temporary staffing industry, which answers the needs for growth in this industry. Employer liability and the forms of labor use has been defined in this law. Moreover, this law puts forward higher standards of hiring activities and HR management for enterprises and temporary staffing companies. It is a challenge but also an unprecedented opportunity for the staffing industry," says Lucille Wu, Managing Director of Manpower Greater China. "Obtaining this pilot license is a blessing and recognition of our persistence on our highest working ethic throughout the world."

As a veteran in the temporary staffing industry for the last 60 years, Manpower is confident in its ability to introduce temporary staffing services to companies in China, bringing flexibility and greater efficiency to the fast growing economy. Awarded for the last five years in a row as one of Fortune's Most Admired Companies, Manpower continues its efforts to bring in best-in-class industry practices and management expertise to China; and promotes higher standards in the staffing industry for a sustainable growth.

"Manpower can help our clients increase their business efficiency by offering flexible workforce solutions and managing associates to achieve the highest productivity," continues Lucille. "And we operate under strictest bylaw discipline to fully protect our associates' benefits and welfare."

Although there is no official data on the total size of the contingent workforce, Manpower defines it by considering all types of workers who provide human resource to the organization, but are not permanent staff, and estimates that it represents approximately 20 percent of the average company's total workforce. All of these groups, contingent and permanent, provide the "people power" that drive that success of the business entity. Manpower believes that through Manpower Professional Permanent Recruitment, Manpower Permanent Recruitment, Manpower Temporary Staffing and Manpower Managed Service, they are very capable of delivering competitive one-stop employment service solutions to their clients in China.
