Welcome Exchange for Employers

Despite the credit crunch, the UK labour market in key sectors is shrinking, intensifying the skills shortage and increasing competition for the best employees. Foreign workers with key skills have never been in greater demand, but there are a number of issues facing employers in terms of attraction, training and retention.

Welcome Exchange works with business to tackle these pressing issues through what we call '3R': Recruit, Retrain and Retain. Through 3R we can help you achieve the following key goals:

Attract the best available skills by reaching foreign workers through our network of international partners. This may include pre-placement language and cultural awareness training. Train employees with bespoke orientation programmes to improve workplace integration, utilising our pioneering Parallel Learning. We also offer bespoke training appropriate to your staff profile, company goals and industry sector regulations e.g. Health and Safety compliance. Retain international workers that might leave positions prematurely when they encounter difficulties with language and culture. We offer a programme of ongoing support to our clients and their employees, including a planned programme of English language and cultural awareness training.

The outcome of 3R is a closer, safer and happier workforce that is better motivated and more likely to stay with your company and attract others to join.
