The world of work
Manpower has been a successful employment agency for about 60 years. It has supplied temporary employees to companies since 1948. That's when the first office opened in Milwaukee, in the USA. Two lawyers started the company when they were unable to find temporary help with a project. Today, it is a global company with offices all around the world.
Employment agencies supply companies with different types of workers. These include professional and administrative workers in offices, and manual workers in factories and on building sites. Temporary workers (also called 'temps') now make up between one and three per cent of the total workforce in most countries. Multinational companies have employed temps for a long time. Now smaller companies also use temporary workers.
Have careers changed very much since the 1990s? A decade ago, people expected to work for the same company until they retired. Today, nobody expects a job for life any more. People move from job to job, working in different companies or in different departments. Training is important because it improves worker’s skills. This can help employees to find better jobs or get a promotion.
In some jobs there aren't enough skilled workers. Some companies want retired people with skills to return to work. Japan, Australia and Italy have started to employ older workers. Companies need organisations like Manpower to arrange training for older employees, for example, to use computers or to work with a younger boss.
