The Adecco Institute will provide a forward-looking and fact-based perspective on innovative approaches to help companies and regions raise employability, productivity and employee satisfaction.

Dieter Scheiff, Adecco chief executive, says: “Globalisation has changed the way people work. As a result our clients are facing new challenges for which traditional institutions fall short of finding solutions. Adecco, with its daily contact with thousands of companies and people across all major labour markets is in a unique position to provide a platform for discussing innovative approaches to such issues.”

The Institute will be chaired by Wolfgang Clement.
