국제 순위: 룩셈부르크, 숙련된 직원에 대한 탁월한 접근성 제공 (3)
국제 연구는 룩셈부르크에 대해 어떤 그림을 제공할까? 룩셈부르크 대표부는 계속해서 정보를 수집하고 다국어를 구사하는 숙련된 직원 정보를 보유하고 있다. 숙련된 인력을 쉽게 찾는 것은 새로운 위치에서 사무실을 오픈하려는 국제 기업에게 중요하다. 룩셈부르크는 2020년 세계 인재순위에서 3위를 차지했으며, 특히 인재 유치 및 보유 능력과 외국인 고급 인력의 이용 가능 부분에서 높은 점수를 받았다. 룩셈부르크에는 유럽연합 외부의 자격을 갖춘 인력이 취업 허가를 간단히 받을 수 있는 절차가 마련되어있다.
The access to highly skilled professionals is obviously important for international companies looking to recruit for their offices in new locations. Here, Luxembourg comes out well. The country ranks 3rd in the 2020 World Talent Ranking, which in particular highlights the ability to attract and retain talent and the availability of foreign highly-skilled personnel. The 2021 Total Workforce Index, which measures the relative ease of sourcing, hiring and retaining workforce skills in competing labour markets, places Luxembourg 18th in the world and 8th in the EU.
Cultural insights, language skills
“Thanks to the EU institutions, the financial centre and the rapidly expanding research, innovation and start-up scenes, Luxembourg is a truly international place,” comments Jenny Hällen Hedberg, who heads Luxinnovation’s International Business Development team. “It is also a regional economic engine. Every day, a large part of the workforce comes from neighbouring countries. Companies looking for a place within reach of France and Germany – two of the most important markets in the EU – can easily hire people in Luxembourg with knowledge, contacts and language skills that cover both.”
The use of English is widespread and a must in companies located here.
The Luxembourg population is the most multilingual in the EU, and language skills go well beyond the countries three official ones: Luxembourgish, German and French. “The use of English is widespread and a must in companies located here,” Ms Hällen Hedberg points out. Luxembourg is in fact among the 12 countries in the world with the highest skills in English as a foreign language according to the 2020 EF English Proficiency Index. “Our multiculturalism and multilingualism are unique in Europe and cannot be found elsewhere.”
