No to discrimination in the temporary employment sector

The General Association of Temporary Employment Agencies (ABU) established a Reporting Center for Discriminatory Requests three months ago. Employees of employment agencies like Flexible Human Services can report to this center if they receive a discriminatory request from a potential client. These could be requests such as, 'I don't want any employees other than Polish for this assignment, because...' or 'I only want employees in age category x, because...' The ABU conducted a national study to test whether employees know how to find this reporting center if they receive such a request. They investigated, using mystery calls in which a discriminatory request was made, whether employees would report the request. This happened, and that is good news! Other reports that were made mainly concerned discrimination based on age. The study also showed that 87% of the requests made via a mystery call were not acted upon. This is also a great result!

At Flexible Human Services, we also believe it is important to offer all our temporary workers a fair chance. Regardless of ethnicity, age, or gender: everyone deserves a fair chance in the labor market. That is why our employees also pay extra attention when speaking to potential clients.
