All of us – our businesses, our families and our communities – are living in unpredictable and fast-changing times. We are receiving news and changing information by the hour, constant reminders that this is unprecedented. And as COVID-19 continues to impact markets, borders and daily life around the world, it has never been truer that a resilient organization needs to plan for uncertainty and be built for change.  - Jonas Prising, Chairman and CEO, ManpowerGroup

Like all global companies, we have been monitoring the outbreak of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) as the situation evolves. The health and well-being of our people is top priority. Our HR and business leaders are updating colleagues on the latest health and travel guidelines from the World Health Organization (WHO) and national governments according to areas of greatest impact. 

We continue to be in close communication with our clients and have created this destination of resources to support businesses nationwide that are navigating the impacts of COVID-19 on their workforce. We will update these resources to provide you timely insights and guidance.
