Randstad is part of a network of stakeholders with varying interests.

These include clients, flexworkers, interim professionals and candidates, our own employees and suppliers, employers’ and

employees’ organizations, governments, labor unions and the

staffing sector as a whole. By working to promote all interests

– for example, by helping companies and institutions develop

networks, and by negotiating collective labor agreements

(CLAs) with labor unions – Randstad benefits as well.

Labor market relations and stakeholder dialogue:

In our day-to-day business operations, Randstad is in constant

dialogue with all its stakeholders. Stakeholder involvement –

be it through employee participation, government dialogue,

client events – provides management with a good means of

assessing the social impact of entrepreneurial decisions.

Internally, employee participation is encouraged through

a network of Works’ Councils that regularly brings together

managers and employees across the organization to discuss

work- and HR-related issues. We have Works’ Councils in many

of the countries where we operate. Dialogues take place at

a national level, and the results are fed into an international

platform. This platform meets twice a year to discuss social

policy issues and general business information relevant to

Randstad Group companies. Externally, Randstad very actively

engages in social dialogue with labor unions, at both the

national and European levels. Additionally, labor unions,

specifically UNI-Europa, the representative labor union for

services in Europe, are also invited to attend the international

platform meetings as observers.
