Segment Data [Abstract]  
Revenues by Geographical Region
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), Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO), Borderless Talent Solutions (BTS), Strategic Workforce Consulting (SWC) and Language Services. The Right Management segment revenues are derived from career management and talent management 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.

In the United States, where a majority of our franchises operate, revenues from services included fees received from the related franchise offices of $3.4 and $3.2 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013. These fees are primarily based on revenues generated by the franchise offices, which were $169.1 and $155.1 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
 
(b)
Our consolidated revenues from services include fees received from our franchise offices of $5.5 and $5.3 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. These fees are primarily based on revenues generated by the franchise offices, which were $256.6 and $234.7 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(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.
