Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies	Sep. 30, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies	Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies Basis of Presentation Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2014 Annual Report to Shareholders. The information furnished reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, were necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods presented. Such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed. Goodwill and Intangible Assets In accordance with the current accounting guidance for goodwill and other intangible assets, we perform an annual impairment test of goodwill at our reporting unit level and indefinite-lived intangible assets at our unit of account level during the third quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our reporting units below their carrying value. We performed our annual impairment test of our goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets during the third quarter of 2015 and determined that there was no impairment of our goodwill or our indefinite-lived intangible assets. Significant assumptions used in our annual goodwill impairment test during the third quarter of 2015 included: expected future revenue growth rates, operating unit profit margins, working capital levels, discount rates ranging from 11.8% to 17.1%, and a terminal value multiple. The expected future revenue growth rates and operating unit profit margins were determined after taking into consideration our historical revenue growth rates and operating unit profit margins, our assessment of future market potential, and our expectations of future business performance. Payroll Tax Credit We entered into an agreement in July 2015 to sell a portion of our French payroll tax credits earned in 2014 for net proceeds of approximately $130.0 (€120.1). We derecognized these receivables upon the sale date as the terms of the agreement are such that the transaction qualifies for sale treatment according to the accounting guidance on the transfer and servicing of assets. Reclassification In connection with the adoption in the third quarter of 2015 of the new accounting guidance on debt issuance costs, we have reclassified certain amounts in prior-period financial statements to conform to the current period's presentation. On our consolidated balance sheets, we have reclassified debt issuance costs associated with our long-term debt from other assets to long-term debt (see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements). Subsequent Events We have evaluated events and transactions occurring after the balance sheet date through our filing date and noted no events that are subject to recognition or disclosure.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards	9 Months Ended
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Sep. 30, 2015
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	Recently Issued Accounting Standards In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance on reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. The new guidance changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. A discontinued operation may include a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results and when the component or group of components meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, is disposed by sale, or is disposed of other than by sale. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2015. There was no impact of this adoption on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for us in the first quarter of 2018 and can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In September 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The new guidance requires an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, and if so, disclose that fact. Management is also required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans alleviate that doubt. The guidance is effective for us in 2017 and will be applicable to both annual and interim reporting periods. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In January 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on presentation of extraordinary items. The new guidance eliminates the separate presentation of extraordinary items, net of tax and the related earnings per share, but does not affect the requirement to disclose material items that are unusual in nature or infrequently occurring. The guidance is effective for us in 2016. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on consolidation. The new guidance changes the way an entity evaluates whether (1) it should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (2) fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are variable interests in a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and (3) variable interests in a VIE held by related parties of an entity require the entity to consolidate the VIE. The guidance is effective for us in 2016. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on debt issuance costs. The new guidance requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated liability, consistent with debt discounts. We adopted this guidance effective as of September 2015. The impact of the adoption of this guidance is disclosed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In May 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on customer’s accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The guidance is effective for us in 2016. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In September 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on business combinations. The new guidance eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments following a business combination. It requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. The prior period impact of the adjustment should be either presented separately on the face of the income statement or disclosed in the notes. The guidance is effective for us in 2016. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Acquisitions	9 Months Ended
Acquisitions	Sep. 30, 2015
Business Combinations [Abstract]
Acquisitions	Acquisitions On September 3, 2015, we completed our previously announced acquisition of 7S Group GmbH (“7S”), for total consideration, net of cash acquired, of $140.4 (€125.3). In addition, we incurred approximately $2.2 and $3.4 of transaction costs associated with the acquisition during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, which have been recorded in selling and administrative expenses. Based primarily in Germany, 7S is a highly specialized provider of human resource services focusing on a number of core sectors including skilled trades, engineering and IT. Of the $153.0 (€136.5) of net acquired assets, $49.1 (€43.8) was recorded as finite-lived intangible assets, of which $44.2 (€39.4) was assigned to customer relationships and will be amortized over 10 years using the straight line method. As of September 30, 2015, the customer relationships were $43.6 (€39.0). Total amortization expense related to this intangible asset for the remainder of 2015 and in each of the next five years is $1.0 and $4.5, respectively. The fair value of $118.3 (€105.6), which was not directly attributable to any specific assets or liabilities, was assigned to goodwill as part of the Germany reporting unit. As of September 30, 2015, the purchase accounting and figures associated with the above acquisition are preliminary based on the timing of the transaction and will be finalized in early 2016. From time to time, we acquire and invest in companies throughout the world, including franchises. The total cash consideration for acquisitions excluding 7S, net of cash acquired, was $100.3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the majority of which took place in Australia, Canada and the Netherlands. The total cash consideration for acquisitions, net of cash acquired, was $25.1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

Restructuring Costs

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we made payments of $6.1 out of our restructuring reserve that was created in 2012 and 2013. We expect a majority of the remaining $6.8 reserve will be paid by the end of 2016.

Changes in the restructuring reserve by reportable segment and Corporate are shown below.



	Americas⁽¹⁾			Southern Europe⁽²⁾			Northern Europe			APME			Right Management			Corporate			Total
Balance, January 1, 2015	$	1.1		$	2.3		$	5.8		$	0.5		$	2.3		$	0.9		$	12.9
Costs paid or utilized	(0.4		)	(0.6		)	(3.0		)	(0.3		)	(1.3		)	(0.5		)	(6.1		)
Balance, September 30, 2015	$	0.7		$	1.7		$	2.8		$	0.2		$	1.0		$	0.4		$	6.8

(1) Balances related to the United States were $1.0 and $0.3 as of January 1, 2015 and September 30, 2015, respectively.

(2) Balances related to France were $2.1 and $1.6 as of January 1, 2015 and September 30, 2015, respectively. Italy had no restructuring reserves recorded as of either January 1, 2015 or September 30, 2015.

Income Taxes	9 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Sep. 30, 2015
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Income Taxes We recorded income tax expense at an effective rate of 37.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to an effective rate of 35.5% for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The 2015 rate was unfavorably impacted by the change in the mix of earnings due to the strengthening of the United States dollar as well as a decrease in non-U.S. income. The 37.1% effective tax rate in the quarter was higher than the United States Federal statutory rate of 35%, and we currently expect an annual effective tax rate of approximately 38%, due primarily to the French business tax, expected repatriations, valuation allowances and other permanent items. We recorded income tax expense at an effective rate of 38.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, as compared to an effective rate of 37.9% for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The 38.6% effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was higher than the United States Federal statutory rate of 35% due primarily to the French business tax, expected repatriations, valuation allowances and other permanent items. As of September 30, 2015, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits related to various tax jurisdictions, including interest and penalties, of $32.7. We had related tax benefits of $1.4, and the net amount of $31.3 would favorably impact the effective tax rate if recognized. As of December 31, 2014, we had gross unrecognized tax benefits related to various tax jurisdictions, including interest and penalties, of $30.8. We had related tax benefits of $1.4 for a net amount of $29.4. We do not expect our unrecognized tax benefits to change significantly over the next 12 months. We conduct business globally in 80 countries and territories. We are routinely audited by the tax authorities of the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate. Generally, the tax years that could be subject to examination are 2008 through 2014 for our major operations in France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States. As of September 30, 2015, we are subject to tax audits in Austria, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, Norway, Russia and Spain. We believe that the resolution of these audits will not have a material impact on earnings.

(3) The majority of the Corporate balance relates to goodwill attributable to our acquisition of Jefferson Wells ($55.5) which is now part of the United States reporting unit. For purposes of monitoring our total assets by segment, we do not allocate the Corporate balance to the respective reportable segments as this is commensurate with how we operate our business. We do, however, include these balances within the appropriate reporting units for our goodwill impairment testing. See table below for the breakout of goodwill balances by reporting unit.

Goodwill balances by reporting unit were as follows:

Debt	9 Months Ended
Debt	Sep. 30, 2015
Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt	Debt On September 11, 2015, we offered and sold €400.0 aggregate principal amount of the Company's 1.875% notes due September 11, 2022 (the "Notes"). The net proceeds from the Notes of €397.4 will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include share repurchases and the acquisition of or investment in complementary businesses or other assets. The Notes were issued at a price of 99.753% to yield an effective interest rate of 1.913%. Interest on the Notes is payable in arrears on September 11 of each year. The Notes are unsecured senior obligations and rank equally with all of our existing and future senior unsecured debt and other liabilities. On September 16, 2015, we amended and restated our Five Year Credit Agreement (the “Amended Agreement”) with a syndicate of commercial banks primarily to revise the termination date of the facility from October 15, 2018 to September 16, 2020. The remaining material terms and conditions of the Amended Agreement are substantially similar to the material terms and conditions of our Amended and Restated Five Year Credit Agreement dated October 15, 2013. In April 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on debt issuance costs. The new guidance requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated liability, consistent with debt discounts. It does not affect the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs. We elected to early adopt this guidance in the third quarter of 2015 on a retrospective basis, which required the restatement of prior periods. The adoption was not material to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Our revolving credit agreement is not in scope of the new accounting guidance and, therefore, the related debt issuance costs will continue to be presented in other assets.

Share repurchases may be made from time to time through a variety of methods, including open market purchases, block transactions, privately negotiated transactions or similar facilities. During the first nine months of 2015, we repurchased 6.0 million shares at a cost of $523.2 under the 2012 authorization. As of September 30, 2015, there were no shares remaining authorized for repurchase under the 2012 authorization.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

We are exposed to various risks relating to our ongoing business operations. Among these risks are foreign currency exchange rate risk and interest rate risk, which can be managed through the use of derivative instruments. In certain circumstances, we enter into foreign currency forward exchange contracts (“forward contracts”) to reduce the effects of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates on our cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our long-term debt obligations. We have historically managed interest rate risk through the use of a combination of fixed and variable rate borrowings and interest rate swap agreements. In accordance with accounting guidance on derivative instruments and hedging activities, we record all of our derivative instruments as either an asset or liability measured at their fair value.

A portion of the €350.0 ($390.1) notes due June 2018 and the €400.0 ($443.5) notes due September 2022 were designated as an economic hedge of our net investment in our foreign subsidiaries with a Euro functional currency as of September 30, 2015. For instruments designated as an economic hedge of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation, the gain or loss associated with foreign currency translation is recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes. We had no unrealized translation gain or loss as of September 30, 2015 and an unrealized translation loss of $24.5 as of December 31, 2014, included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, as the net investment hedge was deemed effective.

For our forward contracts that are not designated as hedges, any gain or loss resulting from the change in fair value is recognized in the current period earnings. These gains or losses are offset by the exposure related to receivables and payables with our foreign subsidiaries and to interest due on our Euro-denominated notes, which is paid annually in June. We recorded a loss in interest and other expenses of $0.9 and $0.1 for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and a gain of $0.9 and $0.1 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, associated with those forward contracts, which offset the loss and gain recorded for the items noted above.

On occasion, forward contracts are designated as an economic hedge of our net investment in our foreign subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2015, we had a translation loss of $4.2 included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of taxes, as the net investment hedge was deemed effective.

The fair value measurements of those items recorded in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were as follows:



			Fair Value Measurements Using

Foreign currency forward contracts	0.1		—		0.1		—
	$	81.5	$	81.4	$	0.1	$	—

We determine the fair value of our deferred compensation plan assets, comprised of publicly traded securities, by using market quotes as of the last day of the period. The fair value of the foreign currency forward contracts is measured at the value from either directly or indirectly observable inputs from third parties.

The carrying value of long-term debt approximates fair value, except for the Euro-denominated notes. The fair value of the Euro-denominated notes, as observable at commonly quoted intervals (level 2 inputs), was $876.7 and $471.6 as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, compared to a carrying value of $833.6 and $422.1, respectively.

Segment Data

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Data

We are organized and managed primarily on a geographic basis, with Right Management currently operating as a separate global business unit. Each country and business unit generally has its own distinct operations and management team, providing services under our global brands, and maintains its own financial reports. We have an executive sponsor for each global brand who is responsible for ensuring the integrity and consistency of delivery locally. We develop and implement global workforce solutions for our clients that deliver the outcomes that help them achieve their business strategy. Each operation reports directly or indirectly through a regional manager, to a member of executive management. Given this reporting structure, all of our operations have been segregated into the following reporting segments: Americas, which includes United States and Other Americas; Southern Europe, which includes France, Italy and Other Southern Europe; Northern Europe; APME; and Right Management.

The Americas, Southern Europe, Northern Europe and APME segments derive a significant majority of their revenues from the placement of contingent workers. The remaining revenues within these segments are derived from other workforce solutions and services, including recruitment and assessment, training and development, and ManpowerGroup Solutions. ManpowerGroup Solutions includes Talent Based Outsourcing (TBO), TAPFIN — Managed Service Provider (MSP) and Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO). The Right Management segment revenues are derived from career management and workforce consulting services. Segment revenues represent sales to external clients. Due to the nature of our business, we generally do not have export sales. We provide services to a wide variety of clients, none of which individually comprise a significant portion of revenues for us as a whole.

(c)	We evaluate segment performance based on operating unit profit (“OUP”), which is equal to segment revenues less cost of services and branch and national headquarters operating costs. This profit measure does not include goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges or amortization of intangibles related to acquisitions, interest and other income and expense amounts or income taxes.

Basis of Presentation and Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2015
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2014 Annual Report to Shareholders. The information furnished reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, were necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the periods presented. Such adjustments were of a normal recurring nature, unless otherwise disclosed.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets	Goodwill and Intangible Assets In accordance with the current accounting guidance for goodwill and other intangible assets, we perform an annual impairment test of goodwill at our reporting unit level and indefinite-lived intangible assets at our unit of account level during the third quarter, or more frequently if events or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of our reporting units below their carrying value.
Reclassification	Reclassification In connection with the adoption in the third quarter of 2015 of the new accounting guidance on debt issuance costs, we have reclassified certain amounts in prior-period financial statements to conform to the current period's presentation. On our consolidated balance sheets, we have reclassified debt issuance costs associated with our long-term debt from other assets to long-term debt (see Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements).
Recently Issued Accounting Standards	In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance on reporting discontinued operations and disclosures of disposals of components of an entity. The new guidance changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. A discontinued operation may include a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity. A disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results and when the component or group of components meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, is disposed by sale, or is disposed of other than by sale. We adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2015. There was no impact of this adoption on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In May 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on revenue from contracts with customers. The core principle of this guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance is effective for us in the first quarter of 2018 and can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. We are currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In September 2014, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on disclosure of uncertainties about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The new guidance requires an entity’s management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, and if so, disclose that fact. Management is also required to evaluate and disclose whether its plans alleviate that doubt. The guidance is effective for us in 2017 and will be applicable to both annual and interim reporting periods. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have an impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In January 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on presentation of extraordinary items. The new guidance eliminates the separate presentation of extraordinary items, net of tax and the related earnings per share, but does not affect the requirement to disclose material items that are unusual in nature or infrequently occurring. The guidance is effective for us in 2016. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In February 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on consolidation. The new guidance changes the way an entity evaluates whether (1) it should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (2) fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are variable interests in a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and (3) variable interests in a VIE held by related parties of an entity require the entity to consolidate the VIE. The guidance is effective for us in 2016. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on debt issuance costs. The new guidance requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the associated liability, consistent with debt discounts. We adopted this guidance effective as of September 2015. The impact of the adoption of this guidance is disclosed in Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. In May 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on customer’s accounting for fees paid in a cloud computing arrangement. If a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license, the customer should account for the software license element of the arrangement consistent with the acquisition of other software licenses. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, the customer should account for the arrangement as a service contract. The guidance is effective for us in 2016. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements. In September 2015, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on business combinations. The new guidance eliminates the requirement to restate prior period financial statements for measurement period adjustments following a business combination. It requires that the cumulative impact of a measurement period adjustment (including the impact on prior periods) be recognized in the reporting period in which the adjustment is identified. The prior period impact of the adjustment should be either presented separately on the face of the income statement or disclosed in the notes. The guidance is effective for us in 2016. We do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.
