ManpowerGroup Offers Practical Solutions to Help U.S. Businesses Adapt to Technological Disruption at 14th Annual Roundtable Event

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 13, 2016

Each year, ManpowerGroup honors its many long-standing mutually beneficial relationships with diverse partners, and leaders share expertise on critical issues that impact suppliers. This year's event focused on technical transformation and included discussions on artificial intelligence, big data and automation. As more than two-thirds of attendees said they anticipate automation to impact their revenue this year, the discussion focused on strategies and solutions to help businesses adapt.

"We work with 30,000 employers in North America, both large and small. We see how technology is accelerating change and we provide practical solutions to help employers adapt their workforce, supporting them to skill up and stay relevant," said Darryl Green, President & Chief Operating Officer of ManpowerGroup. "At this event we recognize the contribution and partnership of our diverse suppliers, to build relationships, share ideas and discuss how technology and automation will impact the future of work."

ManpowerGroup also hosted a Supplier Excellence Award dinner to recognize suppliers with exceptional performance and overall partnership. The 2016 ManpowerGroup Supplier Excellence Award honorees are:

The 2016 President's Award was given to Paula Ratliff, Vice President & General Manager of Global Sales, for her support, commitment, leadership and mentoring of diverse suppliers.
