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.
