Today’s decision makers are looking at candidates from all around the world to meet their companies’ needs. Finding qualified candidates for the work you want done is fairly easy, but the problem often occurs when it comes to the new employee’s inability to fit in with the culture of the new country they find themselves in. “This can be a stressful situation, which can affect the candidate’s performance, which consequently affects the company in a negative way. That’s why we prepare the employees for the Danish or European culture so that they can avoid big culture clashes when they start their new job,” says Mozhgan Gerayeli who, together with her daughter Yalda Tabesh, owns Mozhi Consulting.
They will learn how to cope with the stress that a new position along with a culture shock can cause, and this will of course benefit the company as well,” says Gerayeli.
Successful cultural integration improves your bottom line Companies are discovering just how important a broader cultural integration and assimilation is, in order for foreign workers to succeed and become a true asset for the company. “Employees that integrate better and faster into the culture of their new country experience less stress, are more productive and stay longer. A happy life outside of work also contributes to a better performance at work,” says Tabesh. Mozhi Consulting have developed stress relief techniques for the employees, as well as a unique cultural integration programme. “This provides new foreign employees with a much better cultural understanding of the country they will be living and working in.

Specialist knowledge when and where it is needed An increasing need for project-specific competencies means that the ability to find and hire flexible specialists has become crucial for many companies.

Founded in 2008, Uni Consulting has had almost a decade’s head start in developing the network that many companies are today realising that they need. Since then, the company has been connecting technical specialists with small and major corporations within a range of industries such as wind power, brewery, medico, IT and telecommunication. “If you look ahead a little, it’s very clear that we will see an increasingly projectorientated job market in Denmark. That’s why our main mission was, and still is, to help organisations hire the people they need here and now, without committing to a permanent contract,” explains Tommy Both Juul, director at Uni Consulting. “We 34 | Issue 102 | July 2017
are able to guarantee that our consultants match the required professional skills not just on paper, but in real life too. And, equally importantly, we ensure that as a person too the consultant is a match for the company, its structure and the specific project.” This structure benefits not just the organisations, but also the consultants. When employed by Uni Consulting, they are guaranteed all regular employee rights such as holiday pay, sick pay and more.
Tommy Both Juul, director at Uni Consulting, has more than a decade’s worth of experience of working with technical projects within different industries.
Facts: Uni Consultants employs 25 engineers and technical specialists. On top of this, the company has a continuously updated database of around 500 consultants. Uni Consulting is located in Skanderborg and Kolding but employs consultants for all parts of Denmark.
