Development of a training and communication tool for HR managers to instruct and intensify knowledge, concerning immigration employment.
Background:
Mobility of citizens across countries is one phenomena of our era. The reception and social integration of immigrants is one of the major challenges facing Europe today.
The lack of information or misleading information within companies regarding immigration rights, laws and potentialities of foreign employees, tend to provoke their negligence among the native population. Neglecting the potentialities of immigrants, and allocation them out of the formal work system undermining their skills and knowledge is leading to marginalization of foreign communities and loss of valuable skills.
