ManpowerGroup Advises U.S. Companies to Diversify Skills of Top Business Leaders, As U.S. Jobless Rate Steadies at 7.8%

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Reports 156,000 Jobs Added in December

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ – ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN), the world leader in innovative workforce solutions, says U.S. companies

“Developing leaders who can navigate volatility and build the flexible workforce needed to fulfill a business strategy is too often, today, just a concept versus a top priority for executive teams,” said Jeffrey A. Joerres, ManpowerGroup Chairman and CEO.

“The unpredictable nature of today’s economy is forcing all business leaders to make quick, yet carefully vetted decisions.

“All business leaders must think very critically about the complex decision-making skills required by their executive teams in the Human Age.”

“Complacency does not enable a company to manage risk, find the best talent or make effective business decisions,” said ManpowerGroup President Jonas Prising.

“Business decisions in the Human Age carry more risk than ever before.

“A specific mix of skills and mindsets need to be developed in leadership teams to frame the right context for the decision-making process.”
