ManpowerGlobal Plans to Increase India Headcount By 15-20 Percent

New Delhi: Leading global workforce solutions provider ManpowerGlobal plans to increase its headcount in India by 15-20 percent in the next few years as part of plans to enhance investments in the unit.

Despite challenging conditions in job market globally, India has emerged as a bright spot for the Manpower group, which currently employs nearly 600 people across the country, it said.

"India is a very unique country in our group of countries and one of the key leadership markets in the Asia Pacific region. We are going to invest in India," US-based ManpowerGroup Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Joerres told PTI.

"We are a capital light and not a capital intensive company. So when we are talking, we are talking about bringing additional salaries and we are also going to increase our workforce that includes associates as well as permanent staff by 15-20 percent for next few years," said Joerres during his India visit.
