History

Gi Group was founded in Italy in 1998 by Stefano Colli Lanzi.[3] In 2004 the Group acquired the employment agency of Fiat, Worknet.[4] One year later, the operations in the outplacement sector started with DBM Italia. Thanks to these acquisitions, the Group became the first Italian staffing agency with a turnover of 360 million Euros and 180 branches in Italy.[5] In 2007 the internationalization process started with acquisitions in Germany and Poland. In 2008 Générale Industrielle and Worknet became one brand: Gi Group. International expansion continued with operations in China, France, Brazil, Spain and India.[6] In 2009 the international expansion of Gi Group further increased: UK, Argentina and also Romania, where the company acquired Barnett McCall Recruitment.[7]

Another important acquisition occurred in 2015: the business process outsourcing firm Holomatica, based in Brazil, became part of Gi Group.[8] In 2016 the acquisition of TACK & TMI, global learning and development companies now known as Tack TMI[9], was announced.[10]

Corporate Social Responsibility

Gi Group has recently focused on corporate social responsibility. In 2014, the first CSR Report was published.[11]. In 2016, Gi Group organized its first global CSR initiative, "Destination Work"[12], aimed at increasing employability through free workshops held by Gi Group's volunteering employees.

gollark: (also, I'm pretty sure IPFS doesn't guarantee that your file exists forever at no cost, someone has to be pinning it or viewing it)
gollark: It's probably irrelevant though, as I doubt *that* many people actually care about having the arbitrary ownership token™ in the first place and have the technical knowledge to check in much detail whether you actually do have it.
gollark: Smart contracts *have* been known to have complex bugs which are also completely impossible to patch after they've been released onto an unsuspecting public.
gollark: If I actually cared about that for some bizarre reason, it would presumably be possible to just copy the NFT code and patch that out.
