Human Resources: Veteran Advertising and Multicultural Communications Expert Ron OwensNamed Practice Leader

NEW YORK-November 16, 2006- TMP Worldwide Advertising & Communications,
the world's largest independent recruitment advertising agency, today
announced that it has enhanced its award-winning diversity and inclusion
solution, creating an end-to-end system that empowers clients to monitor
and improve their diversity and inclusion progress. To lead deployment
of the solution, TMP Worldwide has hired Ron Owens as the company's
first ever Vice President, Diversity & Inclusion.

"Diversity in corporate America has undergone a significant shift, from
a legal obligation and good PR to a highly-valued asset that can have a
major impact on innovation and bottom-line results; and companies need a
strategic process to drive their diversity effort," said Owens. "TMP has
refined its proven methodology to create a comprehensive, formalized
offering integrating unparalleled campaign measurement, optimization,
and reporting."

TMP's solution is based on four primary components that can help
companies at any stage of their diversity program:
*       Analysis and Benchmarking with qualitative and quantitative
research to create an accurate picture of the internal and external
"attitudinal environment," affecting diverse candidates;
*       Training and Education, including live seminars and workshops as
well as online webinars to help build a culture of inclusion;
*       Messaging and Outreach to craft an authentic image of your
organization as an inclusive employer, test the messages and then
deliver them through strategic media; and
*       Evaluation and Optimization, featuring the proprietary TMP
Worldwide Diversity Metrics Gateway that provides real-time data to
compare both media and messages, from initial click to
cost-per-applicant.

All of the components are fully customizable to meet a client's
individual needs.

Expert Leadership
In addition to providing advanced tools to manage clients' increasing
focus on the untapped talent of ethnic minorities, veterans, people with
disabilities and other diverse members of the workforce, TMP offers
expert counsel, led by new VP Ron Owens.

"Our clients need an in-depth approach to diversity & inclusion that
goes beyond catch phrases, stock photography and predictable media
buys," said TMP Regional Vice President Lindsay Wozniak. "Ron's
experience and the creation of his post at the Vice President level
underscore our commitment to new, measurable solutions for attracting,
hiring and retaining diversity job candidates."

Drawing on 35 years as a leader in the advertising industry and decades
of experience in multicultural communications, Owens will help public
and private sector organizations better understand how to create
programs that reach diverse populations with cogent messaging in
broad-based and niche media.

"U.S. businesses are waking up to the fact that workforce development
must evolve to be successful today and be well positioned for long-term
growth," Owens added. "TMP's solution provides organizations with the
tools, processes and expertise to continually improve their diversity
and inclusion recruitment and retention."
