The theme of Vedior’s 2006 Annual Report is ‘The future of work’.

For well over a century, the speed of change has been accelerating. Successful businesses must be able to deal with new business circumstances and be flexible enough to cope with the sheer rapidity of change. As a provider of both temporary and permanent recruitment services, Vedior plays a key role in the provision of staffing solutions to employers and flexible working arrangements to enable employees to cope with modern lifestyle demands.

Within our Annual Report, we touch upon a number of topics that will have a profound impact on the way we work and the way we will find work in the future. We explore demographic issues, technological innovation, work patterns, globalisation and occupational trends.

Vedior’s business profile and strategy have been developed bearing these important future trends in mind. While we benefit from the short-term demand for our services, our strategic focus also puts us in a position to capitalise on longer-term trends.
