Partner Marius Tollenaere explores Germany’s labor migration landscape, highlighting the urgent need for a more efficient and digital immigration administration with clear responsibilities and coordinated processes, in an article in Human Resources Manager.
The article, co-authored with Dr. Ann-Veruschka Jurisch, shows how a user-focused approach, shorter processing times and streamlined procedures are critical to attract skilled workers, support employers and address Germany’s growing demographic and skills challenges. It also examines proposed reforms including a tandem model between the Federal Office for Foreign Affairs and the Federal Employment Agency, which could reduce processing times and create a one-stop shop for labor immigration.

Partner Marius Tollenaere beleuchtet in einem Artikel im Human Resources Manager die deutsche Arbeitsmigrationslandschaft und betont den dringenden Bedarf an einer effizienteren und digitalisierten Einwanderungsverwaltung mit klaren Verantwortlichkeiten und koordinierten Prozessen.
Der gemeinsam mit Dr. Ann-Veruschka Jurisch verfasste Artikel zeigt, wie wichtig ein nutzerorientierter Ansatz, verkürzte Bearbeitungszeiten und optimierte Verfahren sind, um Fachkräfte zu gewinnen, Arbeitgeber zu unterstützen und die wachsenden demografischen und Qualifikationsherausforderungen Deutschlands zu bewältigen. Er skizziert außerdem Reformvorschläge, darunter ein Tandemmodell zwischen dem Auswärtigen Amt und der Bundesagentur für Arbeit, das die Bearbeitungszeiten verkürzen und eine zentrale Anlaufstelle für die Arbeitsmigration schaffen könnte.
