Valet är avgjort - Sveriges kompetensbrist kvarstår. Efter valet riktas blickarna mot Sveriges framtid. Men en strukturell utmaning kvarstår oavsett politisk riktning: svenska företag behöver fler människor och rätt kompetens för att kunna fortsätta växa. Tent Partnership for Refugees

Refugee hiring works! Last year, #TentNederland companies collectively hired more than 13,500 refugees into jobs. Since launching in April 2025, the coalition has grown to 51 leading employers, all committed to connecting refugee talent with businesses across the Netherlands. A new NU.nl article published today highlights the growing impact of refugee hiring in the Netherlands, featuring Tent Nederland and member companies Rotterdam Marriott Hotel, IKEA for Business Nederland, KPN, and Randstad Nederland are helping refugees access meaningful employment while filling labor gaps in key sectors. As our Director, Hélène van Melle, shared with NU.nl: "Companies are highly satisfied with refugee hires. They are loyal, motivated and eager to work. Refugee hiring is helping address labor shortages." With labor shortages remaining high and thousands of refugees ready to contribute, the opportunity for Dutch businesses is clear. Refugee hiring is a win-win: it helps people rebuild their lives while enabling employers to access the talent they need.

Finding work as an LGBTQ+ refugee – at a company where you feel safe being yourself – can be very challenging. It means navigating two layers of vulnerability: the barriers all refugees face in a new country, plus the fear of discrimination based on who you are. Carla found that place at Inditex. Today, she's a sales assistant in Mexico and shows up as her authentic self every single day. This #PrideMonth, we're celebrating the people who bring everything they are to work – and the companies that make that possible. 🙏

In the lead up to #WorldRefugeeDay, Tent España and two of our member companies were featured on Radiotelevisión Española. 🎬 Sahid, a refugee from Sierra Leone hired by JD Sports Iberia, and Mouhammed, a refugee from Guinea hired by Marriott International, were featured on Aquí Hay Trabajo alongside #TentEspaña Director Amaia Elizalde Belascoain — sharing firsthand how meaningful employment transforms lives and strengthens the companies that take the leap. According to recent surveys, 72% of employers globally report talent shortages, yet in Europe, only 1 in 4 refugees has a job five years after arrival. Sahid and Mouhammed are proof that closing that gap is good for business – helping fill workforce needs, bringing in diverse perspectives, and reducing turnover rates. 🇪🇸 #hirerefugees Watch the full feature here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/gMckizk9
