EU approves sale of various USG People General Staffing activities
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Almere, 10 June 2013 - The European Commission has granted approval for the sale
of the General Staffing activities of USG People in Spain, Italy, Austria,
Switzerland, Luxembourg and Poland to Randstad . In April USG People announced
its intention to sell these business units.
The sale of the General Staffing activities in the above countries marks another
step in the implementation of the USG People strategy redesign of 2011. The
strategy is based upon focusing on those markets where USG People can offer
unique added value to its stakeholders and create sufficient mass to ensure a
leading and profitable positioning throughout the cycle. USG People will focus
its attention mainly on its existing leadership positions and target its
investments at developing high-yield concepts such as the recently introduced
USG Professionals brand. A more concentrated positioning will strengthen the
organisation's focus on its strategic objectives and ready it for future
developments in the HR services market.
The legal transfer of the relevant business units to Randstad is expected to
take place in late June 2013.
