Attracting And Retaining Expats
One crucial aspect of engaging international talent is their ongoing personal wellbeing. As well as that of any accompanying partner or family.
Beyond attracting candidates from abroad, retaining expat employees is critical to the company’s advancement and avoiding failure. It is a task full of complexities on many levels. Up to 40% decide to leave again.
As equally important as hiring and key to sustained productivity, support from their employer is fundamental for foreign staff to feel at home over the long term.
Relocating, smooth transitioning and settling in the new country and culture reveals a necessity for expats to reset expectations. Their norms no longer exist, so they are forced to discover and relearn everything anew. Literally. A fresh sense of belonging needs to be found.
Experiencing their new chapter is embraced with optimism, yet comprehending a completely different, foreign lifestyle can be highly challenging. Especially when arriving unprepared.
The second aspect of relocation is feeling at home. It is an elusive one and thus a highly important area of attention for Amazing Capitals Valencia.Â
A new job is both exciting and demanding, so the primary focus of expats following a move is their career. Hitting the ground running leads to initial neglect of personal lives. This can easily become prolonged.
Increased moments of deep frustration are often the result. Achieving ongoing success from this unique opportunity with your company becomes questioned. Especially if a family is involved.
Thoughts of finding a more caring employer or leaving the country altogether can easily arise. Discovering all possibilities that the location has to offer is crucial. Understanding society, uncovering insights and finding local networks as well as new friends can bring contentment.
As an advocate for expat wellbeing, I am passionate about supporting employers of international personnel in Valencia. With an Expat Ecosystem specifically created for this desirable city. So let’s work together to help them thrive and see them smiling more.
Looking forward to discussing options together!Â

Un aspecto crucial en la captación de talento internacional es su bienestar personal continuo, asà como el de su pareja o familia si los acompañan.
Más allá de atraer candidatos del extranjero, retener empleados expatriados es fundamental para el crecimiento de la empresa y para evitar fracasos. Es una tarea compleja en muchos niveles. Hasta un 40 % decide marcharse nuevamente.
Tan importante como la contratación y clave para una productividad sostenida, el apoyo del empleador es esencial para que el personal extranjero se sienta en casa a largo plazo.
El proceso de reubicación, transición y adaptación a un nuevo paÃs y cultura exige que los expatriados reajusten sus expectativas. Sus normas habituales dejan de existir, por lo que deben descubrir y reaprenderlo todo desde cero. Literalmente. Es necesario encontrar un nuevo sentido de pertenencia.
Aunque inician esta nueva etapa con optimismo, comprender un estilo de vida completamente diferente puede ser un gran desafÃo. Especialmente si llegan sin la preparación adecuada.
El segundo aspecto de la reubicación es sentirse en casa. Es un factor difÃcil de definir y, por ello, un área de especial atención para Amazing Capitals Valencia.
Un nuevo empleo es a la vez emocionante y exigente. Por ello, tras la mudanza, los expatriados centran su atención principalmente en su carrera. Comenzar con fuerza a menudo provoca una falta de atención inicial a su vida personal, que fácilmente puede prolongarse.
Como resultado, los momentos de frustración profunda aumentan. En consecuencia, empiezan a cuestionarse si podrán aprovechar esta oportunidad única en tu empresa. Especialmente si tienen familia.
La idea de buscar un empleador más atento o incluso abandonar el paÃs puede surgir con facilidad. Descubrir todas las posibilidades que ofrece la ciudad es clave. Comprender la sociedad, obtener información relevante, encontrar redes locales y hacer nuevos amigos puede aportar satisfacción y estabilidad.
Como defensor del bienestar de los expatriados, me apasiona apoyar a los empleadores de talento internacional en Valencia. Con un Ecosistema Expat diseñado especÃficamente para esta ciudad tan atractiva. Trabajemos juntos para ayudarles a prosperar y verlos sonreÃr más.
¡Espero con entusiasmo conversar sobre las opciones disponibles!
Saludos, Garry
