Für Personalverantwortliche: Einladung zur Online-Veranstaltung „Onboarding, Willkommenskultur & Spracherwerb“

Online-Event am 25.11.2025 von 15:00 bis 17:00 Uhr zum erfolgreichen Onboarding & der Integration internationaler Fachkräfte: Best Practices für Willkommenskultur, Spracherwerb und kulturelle Eingliederung 

In einer zunehmend wettbewerbsintensiven Fachkräftegewinnung ist die erfolgreiche Integration ausländischer Fachkräfte entscheidend für den Unternehmenserfolg. Doch wie gestaltet man ein effektives Onboarding, das nicht nur die fachliche Einarbeitung, sondern auch die kulturelle und sprachliche Eingliederung fördert?

Bei unserem Online-Event zeigen wir bewährte Strategien und Best-Practice-Beispiele, wie Unternehmen eine Willkommenskultur schaffen und den Spracherwerb sowie die Integration ihrer internationalen Mitarbeitenden nachhaltig unterstützen können.

Profitieren Sie vom Erfahrungsaustausch mit Branchenkollegen, diskutieren Sie Herausforderungen und Lösungen und gewinnen Sie wertvolle Impulse für Ihre Personalstrategie.

Seien Sie dabei – gemeinsam gestalten wir eine offene, inklusive Unternehmenskultur, in der sich alle Mitarbeitenden wohlfühlen und ihr volles Potenzial entfalten können!

  • Eleven associations work with us on our premises in different ways. Our services aim to promote interest in and understanding of different cultures and religions through information events and projects and to convey culturally sensitive attitudes.
