Pros

Bonus scheme very competitive, good work life balance if you work for the right forward thinking manager!

Cons

Earning potential can be lost if you're not sitting in a business that specializes - a one size fits all approach is old and Manpower has not yet caught up with the rest of the market. No long-term strategy in place. Recent restructure has been chaotic, poor communications from the board down. Used to be a place that valued it's people - this has been lost in recent years.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts on where we are as a business at the moment. I take on board your feedback about the way the recent restructure was handled, though I can assure you that we do have a long-term strategy. Communication is key and I hope that our recent Manpower Live forums across the country reinforced that as being important to our continued success. There will be lots of opportunities for you to share your ideas and opinions with us this year - we recognise how important it is for all our colleagues to feedback on the direction we’re taking. Our people are just as important today as they ever have been before so please do not hesitate to get in touch with me directly if you want to discuss any of these themes further.

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. However, I am disappointed to hear that your experience wasn’t more positive. We work hard to make Manpower a transparent and collaborative working environment so I am sorry that you didn’t receive the support you needed. I take on board your comments and will seek opportunities to further simplify our processes.
