Randstad's active commitment to providing a better welcome for those with disabilities

At a time when the provisions on the Obligation to Employ Workers with Disabilities (OETH) will be strengthened as of 1 January 2020, some companies are pursuing an active inclusion policy and are exceeding the thresholds set by law.

This is the case with Randstad, a temporary employment and HR services company that was the first in its sector to sign an agreement with AGEFIPH, French non-profit organisation that helps people with disabilities find employment.

Fighting against discrimination and for equal opportunities on a daily basis, Randstad is active on many fronts: morning information sessions, recruitment forums and awareness-raising actions for employees and managers, in an effort to provide the best welcome possible.

More recently, it has involved its employees in serious games to draw attention to non-visible forms of disability.

The company has set up a nationwide network of agencies specialising in disability employment that are active in every sector of activity. Trained counsellors, specially-adapted tools and national leadership provided by the group's Diversity Department promote the support of companies in employing workers with disabilities.

It is part of the "Hangagés" network, which works to encourage employment of those with disabilities, sharing their expertise and carrying out joint projects.
