Engaging our Community

New to Sweden is proud to be a founding partner of the 1046 National Inclusion Initiative, a joint effort from over 30 organizations (RFSL, Prinsparet Stiftelsen, IBM, Kompis Sverige, and more) working together to create a more welcoming, inclusive Swedish community.
 

We believe that everyone in Sweden deserves to feel included, regardless of their sex, ethnicity, gender identity, ability, sexual orientation, neurodiversity, or age.

NEW: Partner Support Program

Talent retention isn’t just about your international employees, but the families they bring with them, too. An unhappy, unintegrated partner in the host location is the number one reason why an assignment fails or isn't accepted.

The Partner Support Program is a talent retention tool for employers in Sweden. It enables successful international assignments by helping accompanying partners get the support they need to adjust to life in Sweden.

 

Hire internationally. Longterm. Successfully.
