Recently Supporting People met two American women; both married to a Dane and have lived in Denmark for a number of years. Both meetings ended with the Americans' spontaneous final remark "It's so hyggeligt".

The other day Supporting People attended a fascinating lecture by Ph.D., MBA and strategic management consultant, Mette Nørgaard, who has just published a new book ”TouchPoints – Tænk ledelse i selv det mindste øjeblik” (U.S. title: Touchpoints: Creating Powerful Leadership Connections in the Smallest of Moments).

"Around 40-45 % of all relocations to Denmark include moving the family. However, over half of these relocated employees do not stay for the full duration of their contract because the family has difficulties settling in Denmark. For companies, this means extra expense in recruiting and training a new specialist employee, as well as the risk of the project stopping while this takes place."
