The keynote speakers at a recent after-work talk about Human Resources have were: Nicolas Schmit, Minster for Employment, Vinciane Istace, PriceWaterhouseCoopers, Paul Heuschling, Universit du Luxembourg, Jean-Jacques Rommes, ABBL and Guy Castegnaro, Guy Castegnaro Associates.
The 5 speakers discussed the challenges that Luxembourg is facing in the future and the current situation in the Luxembourg employment market. The 3 challenges are the attractiveness for people to come to Luxembourg, the immigration laws and lifelong learning. The situation in the employment market is that Luxembourg needs qualified people, Luxembourg needs to change and the financial sector has to change.
The question is: how can Luxembourg attract the people it needs? Other questions are: How can Luxembourg find qualified people? How can it find Talent? What can it do for Education and Training? How can Luxembourg change its immigration laws? What can it offer in terms of Lifelong Learning programmes? How could the financial sector change to still stay attractive? How can industry change? What can administration do?
It's all about attracting people to Luxembourg. Luxembourg needs to find people who speak the languages, who have the culture of its clients and who have the training and the qualifications. Luxembourg has been a country of immigration, it has to make immigration easier. To find the right talents it has to be open. Concerning Education and Training, the new University has to develop different programmes, for example Masters programmes, Distance Learning programmes, Part-time programmes for Working People. Lifelong Learning programmes should be attractive. Luxembourg has to attract qualified people, who want to come and wish to live here. It has to be open minded and tolerant. Minister Jeannot Kreck recently released a catalogue of 56 measures to increase competitivity in Luxembourg.
Finally, important Human Resources Issues and Challenges in Working in Luxembourg relate mainly to finding qualified people for the open positions, to find talent and educate and train the found talent. The point is to offer an attractive life in Luxembourg to make these talents come and stay. Luxembourg must be attractive to attract talented people.
