Core values

Three core values are strong determining factors in the Randstad culture. We believe that applying our core values is the best way to help our stakeholders and society. It is also the only way in which we will achieve our mission to become the leader in the World of Work.

1. To know, serve and trust We hold a high degree of knowledge about our clients’ needs and ambitions. We have a strong desire to provide quality service. We also have a deep level of trust with each other as well as with all of our stakeholders.

2. Striving for perfection We aspire to distinguish ourselves in all of our activities. We aim to surprise clients and stakeholders by constantly exceeding their expectations.

3. Simultaneous promotion of all interests The dialogue that we foster between our various clients and stakeholders plays an important role in shaping the World of Work and the environment around us. We have a history of taking all stakeholders’ interests into account. For instance, using constructive dialogue with unions and authorities to enable the creation of regulatory and social frameworks for flexible labor. But also through initiatives to give back to our environment, applying competencies as a means of alleviating poverty and disadvantage.
