Randstad NV announces its acquisition of Cella, a staffing and consulting firm in the creative, marketing, and digital sectors. This strategic acquisition positions Randstad strongly in the growing US market with significant revenue potential. Cella, with expected revenues over $100 million in 2021, enhances Randstad's service offerings, particularly in managed services for major clients. The leadership of Cella will remain intact, aiming to leverage their combined capabilities for future growth. This move aligns with Randstad's ambition for profitable market share gains in the higher-margin professional services sector.
A recent survey by Randstad reveals that the global workforce is optimistic about returning to work and increasing job opportunities in 2021. Key findings include:
- 78% of workers prefer returning to the workplace.
- 75% are willing to get vaccinated if required.
- 54% anticipate more job opportunities this year.
- 52% are motivated to stay with their current employer.
However, many workers feel that workplaces need to improve safety through vaccination, with 53% stating they won't feel safe until others are vaccinated.
