6. Strategy
 The world of work is constantly changing and Adecco is one of the leading forces
shaping that change. With a growing demand for both flexible and skilled workforces
we have two distinct approaches to the market.
For positions that require general skills, we offer our clients tailored solutions, focusing
on industry know-how and cost leadership. This also means ensuring continuity and
nurturing long-term relationships with associates.
To fill positions requiring specialized professional skills, we have experts who can find
the right candidates. Our aim is to provide consecutive assignments, ensuring talent
retention and skill enhancement for our associates.
In both approaches to the market, it is our goal to focus on operational excellence,
specialization and efficient delivery models.
As the global leader in HR services, we are aware that traditional patterns of
employment will continue to evolve in the years to come. We therefore encourage
present and future generations to see change as opportunity in its multiple forms. We
invite people to accept tomorrow’s challenges with confidence and to join us in
shaping the future of the workplace.

7.  Alain Dehaze, global CEO of the 20-billion-
euro Adecco Group, sees India as a major
market for the HR solutions provider. India
contributes 10% of employees and associates
placed by Adecco globally .With growing
urbanization, the Zurich-based company
believes its growth in India is directly
proportionate to its expansion in tier II and
tier III cities. During his first visit to India
recently, Dehaze listed out five emerging
trends in the HR landscape.

8. We understand Adecco wants to invest a lot in its strategic plan for the Indian
market. Could you please elaborate on the plan?
India is a major market with significant opportunities. Our core activities in
the country are the supply of temporary work contracts in general staffing,
and in permanent placement. But we also offer outsourcing services and
services in recruitment process outsourcing. We act as a partner to global
companies active in India, as well as with Indian companies that are
developing abroad. We are strongly positioned in India, with about
1,00,000 employees and associates placed on assignment every day , out of
about 1 million all over the world. This footprint gives us a good platform to
grow further.

9. Why is Adecco India expanding into tier II and III towns here?
As urbanization is growing, in India too an increasing number of
people are moving from rural areas to cities. We need to be
where people are and business is growing. Today , we are
present in 56 geographical locations in India. Our growth in
India is directly proportionate to our expansion in tier II and tier
III cities.

10. What kind of changes do you expect in the entire HR landscape?
 We can identify five interconnected key drivers that shape the labor
market and therefore our business. A volatile environment is the first
driver: Today's globalized economy faces continuous and
unpredictable change. Flexibility is a must to remain competitive. The
second is regulation. An effective regulatory framework can improve
the market landscape and increase the ease of doing business, which
lead to fostering entrepreneurship, attracting investment and

11. How do you see HR budgets of organizations changing?
 It is very difficult to speak about the human resource budget for customers
as it really depends on the industry. Today in India, the temporary staffing
market penetration is 1.5%. In other countries this can reach 4-5%, while
global companies can have up to 40% flexibility in their workforce. Clearly,
the trend is to wards more flexibility in the workplaces.
