Instructor teaching expat employees in a workshop setting
Give your employees a confident start in Denmark

Expat onboarding

Effective expat onboarding is essential for helping international employees settle successfully in Denmark. When a new employee starts, it is not only about the job – but also about understanding culture, collaboration, and everyday life.

This half-day workshop takes your expat onboarding to the next level. We focus on Danish culture and equip participants with practical tools to build relationships and succeed socially in Denmark.

Understand Danish workplace culture from day one

Danish workplace culture can be difficult to navigate for many expats. Flat hierarchies, a direct communication style, and a high degree of autonomy are common. Employees are expected to participate actively and speak up.

For international employees, this can create uncertainty.

In the workshop, we focus on:

  • How to communicate with colleagues and management
  • What is expected in collaboration
  • How to understand what is not said directly
  • How to become an active part of the team

This expat onboarding workshop helps participants understand the unwritten rules of Danish workplaces.

Our testimonial

What do participants say?

I thought it was a really good and valuable course. The level was appropriate and included good challenges. It was perfect that the teaching was adapted to our working day, so I use much of what I learned on a daily basis. I would recommend you/Rachel at any time.

Make onboarding of international employees more effective

Many companies experience that expat onboarding takes longer than expected. This is often due to a lack of understanding of culture and social norms.

With Making Denmark Easy, participants gain practical tools to:

  • Navigate Danish workplace culture
  • Understand everyday expectations
  • Communicate more confidently
  • Participate actively in collaboration

This makes expat onboarding more efficient and creates a better experience for the employee.

From introduction to long-term
well-being

Successful expat onboarding is not only about the first days at work. It is about creating long-term well-being.

When employees feel secure and understand their environment:

  • They become part of the team more quickly
  • They collaborate more effectively
  • They experience greater well-being in their daily work

The workshop helps participants build the understanding they need to naturally integrate into both the workplace and Danish society.

Relationships are an important part of everyday work life

In Denmark, relationships play a key role – also in the workplace. It is not only about tasks, but also about trust and collaboration.

In Making Denmark Easy, we work with:

  • How to approach colleagues
  • How to take part in social activities
  • How to build relationships within a team
  • How to understand Danish collaboration culture

This gives participants better opportunities to become part of the workplace community.

Practical and applicable from day one

The workshop is built around real-life situations that expats encounter in their daily lives. This makes it easy to turn knowledge into action.

Participants gain insights and tools they can use immediately – both at work and in their social life.

A flexible workshop tailored to your company

The workshop can be delivered both on-site and online and is adapted to your needs. This makes it easy to integrate into your expat onboarding process and ensure a smooth start for all employees.
