Onboarding takes longer than expected and it is difficult to measure if it has been successful before it is too late and the employee has moved on. Often it takes up to a year before a new employee is fully onboarded and integration is a big part of onboarding an international employee. It can be very costly to re-fill a position, estimates suggest that the cost is 1.5-2 times a year’s salary.

In Be Local we have worked with language, knowledge and network for many years and have good results with international employees feeling at home and thriving, at the same time as feeling confident in speaking Danish and finding a new network.

The successful integration of your employee and his/her family is very important to us. The risk of losing a big investment and having to re-fill a post and onboard again will diminish when you work with us on integration and talent retention.

"Knowing Susanne has been very helpful for me as a newcomer in Denmark. I know that if I have a question, I can turn to her, and she will try her best to use her extensive knowledge to think of a solution or give me motivating ideas on the topic."

"I really can't thank Susanne enough for being much, much more than my Danish teacher."

"Susanne came highly recommended to me from several colleagues that were taught by her. She is knowledgeable and comes well prepared. She easily adapts her lessons to the needs of the participants. For myself, the goal was to discuss local, national and international news comfortably with Danes. Susanne teaches effectively in person and online."

"Susanne and I talk about many different subjects. We use texts which are at a high level in terms of language, content, and complexity. They are all real-world texts and the same sources that my colleagues would read."

"Relocating to another country is not just about moving and all the practical stuff. It is also about how you feel in a community in general and particularly how you can feel integrated into it. It is important that the whole family feels at home and is thriving here."

During Susanne’s lessons I not only learned about pronunciation and grammar, but also about Danish history, culture, and architecture. This helped me to understand Denmark and the Danes thus making it easier to connect with people, integrate better with my Danish colleagues and also to go around everyday life in Denmark.
