### 98% of Companies Recognize 'Generational Diversity' and 'Deep Insight' as Boosters for Productivity
In a rapidly transforming labor market, HR consultants are required to have deep insights into individuals with diverse backgrounds. According to Randstad's latest work awareness survey, 62% of workers (78% globally) believe that productivity increases when incorporating others' opinions, and 98% of companies (95% globally) respond that generational diversity is a means of productivity improvement. The survey report suggests continuous focus on 'five-generation' collaboration, such as integrating veterans' experience with young professionals' digital sensibilities, as a remedy for uncertain times.
### Building True 'Equal Partnerships' Through 'Dialogue, Autonomy, and Tolerance' from the Netherlands
Randstad aims to be the most fair and specialized HR services company in the world.

They will acquire the process of building 'equal partnerships (buddies)' unbound by attributes. This aims to support client companies in solving diverse challenges and further strengthen Randstad's role as a 'true partner dedicated to talent' for job seekers.
### Diverse Perspectives Become Strength: ERG Bridges the Business Implementation of 'Equal Relationships'
