"Companies everywhere must prepare for one certainty — uncertainty. This unpredictability requires the development of strategies that strikes the right balance between the need for built-in flexibility of plan and results,” said Jonas Prising, president ManpowerGroup Inc. (NYSE: MAN). “Businesses need to be prepared to adapt to changing conditions and opportunities, with access to the right talent critical to success in the ever-evolving Human Age.”

Prising made the comment ahead of the World Economic Forum annual meeting 2013 being held this week in Davos, Switzerland. Prising is leading the ManpowerGroup delegation at the event. The company is a strategic partner of the World Economic Forum.
