Our mission

As a responsible employer, we know that no one chooses to be a refugee. For Adecco, refugees are much more than their status. Refugees have valuable skills and work experience, they often speak several languages, due to their unique circumstances, they have proved their agility and ability to adapt and learn. Providing access to employment lies at the very heart of what we do, because we know meaningful work is the first step towards integrating somewhere new and rebuilding lives. It means finding financial autonomy, belonging to a team, and finding a place in society.

A decade of dedication: Adecco's evolution in refugee support

At Adecco, we believe that everyone deserves a chance to find meaningful work. That’s why, for more than 15 years, we have been committed to refugee integration through connecting displaced people to job opportunities. Our journey started in 2008, when we hired our first refugees in Italy. Since then, we have never stopped collaborating, advocating, and striving to make a difference in people's lives. We know that work is not just a way to earn money; it is also a source of dignity, hope, and belonging. We do our best to ensure that refugees, no matter where they come from, have access to opportunities that match their skills and aspirations.

Our dedication goes beyond borders and also, beyond recruitment, because we know: No one can solve such a complex global challenge alone. That’s why we partner with NGOs and foundations such as Tent, IFRI (Institut Français des Relations Internationales) and ENAR (European Network Against Racism) to support refugee integration. We also work closely with government agencies and other organizations to create a holistic support system for refugees. Through joint projects, whitepapers, and guides, we contribute to the dialogue on refugee integration, promoting inclusive policies and practices in workplaces around the world.

We believe in the power of employment to create positive, lasting change in the lives of people - whether they are refugees or not. This is why we will connect 85,000 refugees globally to jobs, and train 17,000 refugees by the end of 2027.
