Safety

 We safeguard people’s mental, physical and legal integrity in the workplace.

Our  principle

Adecco Group strives to prevent accidents, injuries and diseases in the workplace. Additionally, it is Adecco Group’s declared goal to protect people’s mental and physical integrity through occupational safety measures.

Recognising the risks our colleagues are exposed to when entering new and unfamiliar workplaces, the Adecco Group meets all statutory health and safety obligations and frequently goes a step further, with initiatives to keep this issue high on the agenda.

Preventing accidents and disease

Our standard measures vary from country to country. The five main elements are described in the following:

• Health and safety coordinators and committees
• Risk assessment in the workplace
• Employee testing, training and induction
• Personal protective equipment
• Medical checks

Caring for employees suffering injury or disease

We support employees who suffer injuries or diseases and help them to get back into worklife whenever suitable. Long-term absences in particular tend to hinder people from re-entering the labour market, therefore, we have the following initiatives in place:

• Injury management and rehabilitation process in Australia
• "Swisstempcare"
• Return to Work Program in USA
