statement

While Randstad or Randstad Sourceright do not have direct recruiting operations in Ukraine or Russia, we do have nationals from affected areas in Eastern Europe both on our internal staff and as employees working with our clients. At this time, our number one priority is supporting our employees and their welfare. We are proactively in contact with our internal and temporary employees, and are offering psychological assistance as well as support to those who may have family members seeking refuge in countries throughout Europe.

As a reaffirmation of Randstad’s decision to not conduct business in Russia, we mutually agreed to terminate our affiliation with Ancor, and have paused any new client program implementations or business development for global accounts in Russia.

what you can expect from us

As a long-standing member of the Tent Partnership for Refugees, Randstad joined nearly 50 major companies with operations around the world in their pledge to offer support to people fleeing Ukraine, including by providing for their most immediate needs; speaking out for their rights; or —- if they’re unable to return to their beloved homeland — helping them settle in the new places they will call home.

We reaffirmed our commitment to support refugees and migrants across the world, committing direct support to an additional 20,000 people worldwide in the coming three years. Since 2011, Randstad has touched the work lives of nearly 17,000 refugees, by improving their employability and promoting equal opportunities to help them to lead independent lives. 

In response to the current crisis, we have mobilized our own global workforce to find positions for Ukrainian refugees when they arrive in their host countries. A dedicated resource page is available with more specific information for each country to help refugees gain new employment as seamlessly as possible.

In further response to the Ukrainian crisis, to date we have provided for the critical needs of our affected employees, their families and the wider community, including and not limited to financial support, mental health care and employment opportunities for those that seek it. 

Randstad has also made a contribution to UNICEF’s emergency appeal and launched an employee giving campaign to support as many affected children and their families as possible.
