Context
Talent: What to do when you need to grow and you don't find the right people? What if you do find the people but you cannot keep them? How do demographics play into this?

In the age of internationalisation human capital availability plays a capital role. You find many young educated people where there are many young people.

The presentation
Mr. Otterbach will share the experience of Willy Voit, a small to medium supplier to the automotive industry who went to Mexico in order to capture a piece of the Northamerican market, then encountered difficulties at retaining its personnel but instead of giving up found a novel and unique way to solving its qualified workforce challenge:
 * including the German dual education system
 * including the support local and federal governments
 * in a sustainable way...

In addition to this interesting HR approach, Mr. Otterbach will be able to share with the audience how reluctance of the local workforce at the wake of the company's internationalisation process was turned around into fervent support: Voit today employs more people than ever in its German plant! Employees did not lose their jobs to 'people in low-wage countries' but have more stable employment coditions instead.
