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.

More workers take a career break
Record numbers of workers are planning a career break. The latest research
says that many people want to leave their job and travel the world. In the past, a gap year was for students or rich people. Now more and more ordinary workers are
taking a break from their job. Almost |
one in |
five British workers - around five |
and a half million - are planning to |
take |
a break from their careers. In the |
past five years, three million employees have taken a break. The research shows that more than half the people who are taking a career break want to travel and see the world. A third are looking for a break from office life.
Gap Year for Grown Ups is a company that provides career break projects for people over thirty. Even people in their fifties and sixties are taking career breaks. Some people went straight from university to work and now they want to travel. The majority of people who book with Gap Year for Grown Ups are women. Eighty per cent of their clients are female. Africa is the most popular destination. And South America is becoming more and more popular for people who want to do voluntary work as well as travel and go sightseeing.
British workers like companies that offer career breaks to their staff. One in four employees works for a company where career breaks are a staff perk. The government and finance and insurance industries are leading the way - 40 % of their employees can take a career break. They are followed by IT, telecoms staff (36 %), and medicine / the health service (25 %). The research shows that career breaks also help employers: companies that offer career breaks are able to recruit and keep good staff.
