Internationals as a resource
Attracting and retaining Internationals (Expats, Trailing Spouses and returning Repats) is essential for the success of international companies and cities. These individuals bring diversity, innovation, and a global perspective that can drive growth and economic development. Providing support and creating a welcoming environment for expats can attract top talent from around the world and keep them motivated and engaged.
Retaining Internationals is a win-win situation for both companies as well as cities. It means keeping skilled and knowledgeable employees who can expand businesses internationally and fill skills gaps in the local labor market. Retaining Internationals also reduces turnover costs and maintains a positive company culture that values diversity and inclusion. Additionally, Internationals can serve as ambassadors for the company and promote cultural exchange, enriching the community and creating a more vibrant and inclusive environment.
Trailing spouses
Trailing spouses can also play a significant role in the success of companies and cities. Often overlooked, these individuals can bring unique skills, experiences, and perspectives that can enrich the community and contribute to economic growth, as well as being a huge support for the working Spouse.
For companies, supporting trailing spouses means retaining top talent by ensuring that the whole family feels welcomed and supported. It can also help reduce stress on the employee, allowing them to focus on their work and be more productive. Furthermore, trailing spouses may have skills and experience that can benefit the company, and supporting them can help the company tap into this potential.
For cities, supporting trailing spouses means creating a more inclusive and welcoming environment that can attract and retain international talent. It can also help promote cultural exchange and learning from different perspectives, which can enrich the community and create a more vibrant and diverse environment. Additionally, trailing spouses may have skills and experience that can benefit the local economy, and supporting them can help create more job opportunities and promote economic growth.

Retaining Expats
Retaining Expats be challenging, especially in Denmark, where integration and language barriers are significant issues.
Denmark ranks 48 out of 59 countries in the category of “Integration,” and only 45% of expats feel at home in Danish society. Building a social network in Denmark can also be challenging, with only 40% of expats reporting a strong social network in their new home country.
The Danish climate can also affect the well-being of some Expats, with long and dark winters being a challenge for some.
Not being able to retain Expats can be costly for companies as the process of headhunting, recruiting, logistics, housing, and training can be wasted if the expat and possible trailing family, do not settle well and leave prematurely for other countries or return home.
Therefore, it’s essential to focus on integration and support to help Expats feel more at home in their new country. By doing so, companies and cities can attract and retain top talent from around the world, build a more prosperous and inclusive future, and reduce turnover costs.
It is essential to provide support and resources to employees who are experiencing relocation depression to ensure better outcomes for international assignments.
