One year later: summer party with the team

One year after arrival is, for us, the real test of our work, not the day of entry. In this photo, our team celebrates a summer party together with nursing professionals who have by now been working at their facilities for months. Not a staged press photo, but a genuine afternoon in the garden.

A year that shows whether integration works

Professionally, many professionals settle in quickly. Socially, truly arriving takes noticeably longer, often 24 months or more. Still, after one year you can already see clearly whether someone has genuinely found their footing at their facility and in their new surroundings, and that's exactly what we keep watching for.

What changes over twelve months

Initial uncertainty becomes routine. Colleagues become acquaintances, and acquaintances sometimes become friends. Many of our professionals speak noticeably more confident German after a year than on arrival, know their city, and have built a daily life of their own that goes beyond work. That's the difference between a placement that works, and one that also lasts.

Why we celebrate exactly this

92% of the professionals we place stay longer than three years. Numbers like that aren't made at a desk, they're made on afternoons like this one: when people who were strangers to each other a year ago sit together at the same table. That's why a summer party like this isn't a nice extra for us, it's proof that our integration work actually works.
