This recognizes the commitment to international specialists. "Due to the shortage of staff, we will in future be dependent on foreign specialists as a component in recruiting," says Grit Zwernemann, who, as the current operating room manager and former nursing director of the clinic, accepted the award. For this reason, a position for project coordination integration was created in the clinic in 2021. Because recruiting foreign specialists is not enough. Only when employees with a migration background feel comfortable and at home here will they stay here. "Integration only works if both sides participate and show acceptance and appreciation for each other," says Grit Zwernemann, for whom it is just as important to strengthen the company's philosophy and attitude towards foreign specialists. Of the current 90 international specialists at the Magdeburg Clinic, 58 work in the medical service. In the future, foreign specialists are also increasingly expected in the care sector. 142 associations, initiatives and individuals applied for the Demography Prize 2021.
