Why should partner employment be a key issue for international employers looking to hire overseas applicants into their business? If a spouse is not happy the employee usually won’t stay in the job within your company! Partners of expats want to work but struggle to find work
75% or spouses said that they would like help with finding employment yet less than 1 in 5 feel they received this help from the employer of their partner. This is a clear call to action for international employers as it represents a great opportunity for you to differentiate your offering from the masses by making partner employment key to your international talent strategy and helping partners of expatriates to actually find jobs in the host country.
Make it part of your employer offering!
So, what kind of assistance do partners expect from the employer?
The kind of help you as good employer can provide would be CV writing advice for the host country, coaching on the kind of jobs they would be suited for, coaching on how to pitch themselves, advice on where to find suitable opportunities, and assistance with interview preparation.
