Talent Attraction and Retention Strategy in Moselle
Come, Stay, Come Back
The approach to attracting and retaining talent was launched in 2022 in partnership with our economic stakeholders, in a context of widespread labour shortages across all sectors in Moselle. It resulted in the establishment of initial guidelines centred around the triptych COME-STAY-COME BACK.
A Three-Stage Strategy
COME : Attract talents by highlighting Moselle, its quality of life, and its professional and training opportunities
STAY : Retain talents by promoting career development opportunities, connections with companies, and continuous training
COME BACK : Encourage those who have left Moselle to return by promoting the area's strengths and employment prospects
Come: Attracting Talent to Moselle
Our ambition is to showcase Moselle in all its aspects: a pleasant living environment, diverse professional opportunities, and high-quality training options. We rely on welcome and hospitality initiatives to support newcomers in settling in.
