"Sports and exercise are part of Adecco's corporate culture and operations. Our values team spirit, responsibility, entrepreneurship and customer orientation are the qualities without which sports are a challenge to succeed in. Sports and exercise are close to the heart of Adecco employees and an important part of Adecco's social responsibility program is the Athlete Career Programme (ACP), which is arranged with the International Olympic Committee"says Tommi Törmälä, Adecco Finland’s Country Manager.
Through Athlete Career Programme Adecco operates as the partner of the Finnish Olympic Committee. In Finland, the ACP-service has been produced since 2004, supporting top athletes and coaches in career planning and helping them integrate into work life at different career stages. In Finland, the ACP- service through the years has guided hundreds of athletes in the employment-related issues.
"European Athletics Championships 2012 will bring Adecco a new forum to connect people and businesses through work-related needs. This project will reach a wide spectrum of job seekers and they’ll find employment either in the event, or in any other way, through different industries, "says Adecco Finland’s Project Manager Hanna Nyrönen.
"We want to be involved in building one of 2012 biggest sporting events in addition to the London Olympics. Next summer’s Olympic Games in London will have 100 000 volunteers and experts in different fields and several of them are recruited through Adecco. Both of these world-class sporting events will have a global reach of huge numbers of people and as the world's largest human resources services company, Adecco is a natural part of the event and the values it represents, "continued Tommi Törmälä.
