On the occasion of the publication of its annual results, Randstad announces its intention to redistribute around 632 million euros to its shareholders, including 406 million in ordinary dividends and 226 million in exceptional dividends.

"The persistently difficult macroeconomic conditions we experienced in the fourth quarter resulted in weak hiring activity at our customers, conditions that have continued into early 2024", says Randstad.
