14 Aug. Onboarding & Retention of International Professionals
Ana from Colombia starts her job as a Global Purchasing Manager in Germany highly motivated – yet she resigns after just two months. No structured onboarding, no cultural orientation, no real sense of belonging in the team. Result: talent lost, costs high.Raj from India, Commercial Manager at a German plant manufacturer, is personally welcomed, receives a well-designed, culturally sensitive onboarding, and regular check-ins. He feels a sense of belonging early on – today, he is a team lead and brings new international talent with him.
The shortage of skilled workers forces many companies to recruit internationally – but true retention only starts after signing the contract. In the C-TO-BE training “Onboarding & Retention of International Professionals”, HR professionals and leaders are empowered not only to welcome international talent, but also to integrate and retain them in the long term. The focus is on strategically planned, culturally sensitive onboarding, as well as measures to foster emotional commitment and psychological safety within the team.
The training specifically aims to:
- Develop an understanding of the success factors for sustainable integration of international talent
- Strengthen intercultural competence in HR and leadership
- Provide practical strategies for appreciative and structured onboarding
- Promote emotional safety and team belonging
- Reflect on personal attitudes and roles in an intercultural context
- Reduce turnover through targeted employee retention measures
One thing is clear: recruiting brings talent in. Retention keeps it. Interested in the training? Let’s talk.
