Safety is a top priority for Manpower and our employees. We will work with your on-site client to make sure you receive the training you need to be safe during your assignment. Manpower provides general safety training, and specific training is typically provided by our client. On-the-job worker safety is critically important to ASA staffing firm members. In fact, the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration and ASA recently entered into an alliance to help provide association members and others with information, guidance, and access to training resources to help protect the health and safety of temporary and contract workers. ASA also dedicates a whole section of its website— americanstaffing.net/safetymatters —to educate staffing firms and clients about critical worker safety considerations.

Yes, depending on the circumstances. Most individuals that work with staffing firms, like Manpower, are employees of the staffing firm.

Industrial sector staffing firms provide a spectrum of services—temporary, temporary-to-hire, and direct-hire placements—to their employees and clients. Positions are available for both the skilled and unskilled trades in manufacturing, factory work, logistics and distribution, shipping and receiving, materials handling, hospitality, retail, transportation, and more. Assignments include both light labor—for instance cleaning, assembling, and maintenance—and heavy labor—like construction, moving, and storage.

According to ASA research, 75% of staffing employees in the office-clerical and administrative sector work full time, which is about the same as the overall U.S. labor force. Manpower provides flexible schedules and part-time work as well. You can decide where, when, and how you want to work to accommodate personal needs and achieve work-life balance.
