Adecco Engineering & Technical Announces Its Registration to ISO 9001:2000 Quality Standards

Adecco Engineering & Technical, a division of Adecco SA
(NYSE:ADO), the world's leading workforce provider, today announced
that the management and servicing processes used by the company to
recruit, interview, select and place contract and full time employees
are registered to the ISO 9001:2000 standard for quality.
   Based on internationally accepted guidelines for defining quality
and delineating techniques to ensure continuous improvement, ISO
9001:2000 recognition is awarded after a company identifies its
quality management systems, processes and procedures and subjects them
to rigorous on-site examination by both internal auditors and
independent third-party experts. Adecco's registration to the ISO
9001:2000 confirms that every process it uses to fill technical
positions at companies located throughout the U.S. has been thoroughly
scrutinized and registered, and that an objective external auditor has
verified Adecco Engineering & Technical's service quality.
   Adecco Engineering & Technical provides Design, Engineering, IT,
Scientific, Professional and Manufacturing staffing services to
clients on a contract, contract-to-hire or direct hire basis. Given
this technical focus, ISO 9001:2000 registration is an important
aspect of Adecco Engineering & Technical's operations.
   Under the leadership of Jamie Parker, Executive Vice President of
Adecco Engineering & Technical, office staff and corporate quality
management professionals codified the office's quality management
processes in order to ensure only best-in-class protocols and
processes are followed.
   "With this advancement, our clients and candidates may rest
assured that they are receiving the staffing industry's best service,"
said Parker. "Undergoing the registration process has enabled us to
further streamline activities, such as stringent management of
confirmed references on file for all of our candidates. Now, more than
ever, we can focus on delivering a precise fit between temporary
employees and our client companies."
