ManpowerGroup: Leader in work–life balance with Vivofácil

ManpowerGroup, a global leader in talent solutions, reached a milestone in the industry by becoming, in 2016, the first company in the sector to offer work-life balance benefits to all its employees and collaborators. This was made possible through its collaboration with Alares, now Vivofácil. In this article, we will explore how ManpowerGroup is revolutionizing the way it cares for and supports its workforce. In 2016, the company signed an agreement with Alares, now Vivofácil, to create a corporate well-being plan. Today, this program is called the “Plan 4U” and is intended for structural employees. In addition, these services are also available to spouses or domestic partners, children under 30 who live with the employee, and their parents and parents-in-law. This translates into a comprehensive set of specialized services addressing the reconciliation of personal, family, and professional life across various areas, including health and care, consultations and assistance, as well as administrative matters and services. As a company committed to the well-being and professional development of its employees, ManpowerGroup adapted the Plan Vivofácil 360º into Plan 4U with the aim of improving the quality of life of its employees and their families. This not only benefits its employees, but also contributes to the company’s competitiveness and its image in society.

The services offered through this plan are varied and include:

• Consultations and assistance. Services such as My Assistant, which provides support with daily procedures 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Fixed and mobile telecare are also available, with an SOS button for each family member on their mobile devices. In addition, telephone consultations with medical specialists, social workers, psychologists, nutritionists, lawyers, among others, are provided. Computer and technology assistance is also available to resolve questions related to computers and mobile devices.

• Health and care. Health and care services include in-home personal assistance for caring for people, hospital accompaniment for family members, home-delivery TelePharmacy, specialized treatments, and support services such as psychologists, nurses, or private tutors for children. A network of affiliated medical providers with discounts is also available, as well as the possibility of accessing a free international medical second opinion.

• Administrative matters and additional services. ManpowerGroup also provides personnel placement services for caregiving and domestic tasks, administrative assistance, a service for digitally deleting personal data for up to one year, an online will service, and mediation in out-of-court dispute resolutions.

Corporate social responsibility is a fundamental pillar of ManpowerGroup’s culture, which has been committed to the dignity of people and the crucial role that work plays in their lives. This approach is reflected in its commitment to equal opportunities and improving the well-being of its employees and their families. "We are a socially responsible company and a leader in employability. This plan, in collaboration with Vivofácil, improves the quality of life of our employees and their families, regardless of where they live or their financial situation. Through this commitment, we contribute to well-being and to a fairer, more equal society," explains Montse Moliner, ManpowerGroup’s Sustainability Director. This initiative not only benefits ManpowerGroup employees, but also strengthens its commitment to talent management and its people-centered culture. The company has been recognized as a Top Employer for its outstanding policy of attracting, developing, and engaging its talent. It also continues to be one of the most ethical, admired, and sustainable companies in the industry, according to FORTUNE (World's Most Admired Companies), the Ethisphere Institute (World's Most Ethical Companies), and the FTSE4Good Index Series. ManpowerGroup is at the forefront of promoting work-life balance, setting a standard in its industry and providing invaluable support to its employees and their loved ones. Its commitment to social responsibility and the well-being of its workforce makes it a benchmark in the pursuit of a fairer, more equal society.
