ManpowerGroup received the accolade for the excellence of its brand, commitment to providing outstanding customer service to its clients in multiple countries across the region, and for its innovative work in the industry. The company's unparalleled Candidate Experience, expert advice and thought leadership, and its commitment to corporate social responsibility made ManpowerGroup the stand-out choice for the judging panel.
"This award recognizes ManpowerGroup's unparalleled ability to deliver the full suite of innovative workforce solutions to help our clients win in the fast-changing Human Age," said Darryl Green, ManpowerGroup President, Asia Pacific and Middle East. "Our strong and connected brands, expert solutions and counsel to our clients, the fact that we are the premier place to find a job, and our careful balance of sustainability with profitability truly presents a winning combination."
ManpowerGroup Australia also won the Best Marketing Campaign category, with ManpowerGroup New Zealand highly commended. ManpowerGroup Australia's Mining for Skills social marketing campaign is focused on collaboration, discussion and debate to ease talent shortages within the country's resource sector. The initiative encourages communication between all stakeholders affected by these skills mismatches.
ManpowerGroup New Zealand's Rebuild Our City campaign involved launching an online presence (www.rebuildourcity.co.nz) to connect skilled construction and engineering workers with employment opportunities as the city of Christchurch rebuilds following the February 2011 earthquake.
ManpowerGroup has recently been recognized with other accolades for unrivalled expertise and solutions across the Asia-Pacific region, including the International Investment Strategist award in June for its 18-year presence in China. ManpowerGroup also received a second award for contributing to public welfare in the country at the Beijing event sponsored by the China International Council for the Promotion of Multinational Corporations (CICPMC) and co-sponsored by several United Nations programs.
