Starting from August 2025, ambassadors will be positioned in 93 branches nationwide, promoting inclusivity at every level through various events and activities.

LGBTQI+ Inclusion

In 2025, Randstad transitioned from foundational work to actionable strategies. Their BRG, the Women Inclusion Network (WIN), continues to promote and strengthen equitable and inclusive work environments for women and allies.

The report also showcases diverse initiatives tailored to regional needs, including:

• - Argentina's job support programs for individuals with disabilities.
• - Australia's support for Indigenous peoples.

• - Promoting female leadership in Germany, ranked in the top 10 of the FKi index.

The global workforce faces challenges such as rapid digital transformation and structural talent shortages, highlighting the imperative to eliminate barriers to employment. As stated by Randstad N.V. CEO Sander van Noordende, fostering inclusion is essential for the sustainable growth of businesses and societies.
