The Adecco Group: Annual Report 2025

Making the future work for everyone

We believe in a world where everyone is supported on their own journey. Sometimes success means finding work that fits around life’s commitments or passions. We’re all different – and that’s what connects us.

Our purpose is to make the future work for everyone; putting people first, acting responsibly and shaping a fairer world of work amid rapid change. Through ongoing uncertainty, we help people and organizations stay ready, adaptable and resilient. Elevating human and business potential – that’s the agility advantage.

We create the agility advantage by bringing people and technology together to unlock potential on every level – human and business alike.

It means we are ready to capture the opportunities for the future of work and give people the confidence to benefit from them.

Denis Machuel, Adecco Group CEO:



“In 2025 the Adecco Group sustained strong momentum and continued to positively impact millions of lives. We gained market share, with Group revenue growth 245 basis points ahead of key competitors, while maintaining rigorous cost discipline and delivering nearly EUR 200 million in net savings, compared to our 2022 baseline. We met our full-year financial commitments.

“In November, we introduced our new value creation path – the agility advantage. Through end-to-end talent and technology solutions, we enable human and business agility to elevate potential. Supported by a run-and-change agenda, we are driving further profitable growth while continuing to innovate and pioneer, leveraging AI to unlock new efficiencies and opportunities. We have set clear financial commitments and a strategy focused on gaining market share, while maximizing absolute EBITA and free cash flow. Our Group’s purpose – making the future work for everyone – continues to guide us as we build on our performance and shape the world of work in the intelligent era.”
