First of all: Integration is not a one-way street, but a joint task. Here are some essential steps to make this integration successful:
Preparation in the country of origin
An important measure for successful integration is preparation in the country of origin. Through targeted training on cultural differences and expectations of work in Germany, nursing staff can be prepared for their new working environment before they arrive. GoodCare organizes comprehensive integration and crash courses before entry, which are designed to be interactive and open.
Language support
Effective communication is essential for successful integration and is the key to working together as a community. All candidates receive comprehensive language training with a focus on subject-specific content before they enter the country. Despite this preparation, support in everyday life and at work is still required after arrival in Germany. Dialects, abbreviations and specific technical terms in particular can be challenging at first, but with the right support and patience from colleagues, they can be learned quickly.
Mentoring programs
Mentoring programs in which experienced employees act as contact persons and supporters make the training and integration of new employees much easier. In facilities where employees from abroad already work, these can be important buddies for the new colleagues.
Feedback and training
Regular feedback and training opportunities help to promote the professional development and career opportunities of foreign nurses and increase their motivation.
Successful integration of foreign nursing staff requires a holistic approach that includes both cultural awareness and practical support for everyday integration. These measures can ensure harmonious teamwork and sustainably improve the quality of care.
