For many small and medium-sized companies, entering the US market is a major challenge. Many companies are reaching their limits, as their limited knowledge and experience of the market, as well as language or cultural barriers, make it difficult to open up the new market.
Many questions arise for companies that want to enter the US market. How do we hire US personnel? How do we proceed when posting employees? What must be taken into account? Which intercultural issues need to be considered? Good preparation for these topics is essential.
The workshop "Recruitment, hiring of employees as well as training and further education" is aimed at companies planning to enter the US market. In the workshop, representatives of medium-sized companies in the USA will talk about how they have overcome various hurdles, especially when it comes to recruiting, hiring employees and intercultural issues. These topics should be brought to the participants of the workshops through practical discussions between the speakers.
