What added value does International personnel bring to your company?
They bring diversity in the workplace. This is very important at Nike. International personnel also bring more international experience which fits the culture at Nike. It brings with it unique strengths and can complement well the weaknesses. Another advantage of the diversity is the opportunity for employees' personal growth.

Eoin Wallace - Portfolio Manager at Nike
I’m working for Fluke since 2007, and in my department we have a massive presence of International personnel, this is an added value to our company, because it brings a broad overview of the business, different mentality and flexibility aside from the language skills.
Emiliano Castelli - CS Supervisor at Fluke
Being an International, what added value do you bring to your company?
Due to my international background I’ve been exposed to many different working cultures, different working methods and many different situations that I would have not experienced if I stayed in my home country. I strongly believe this exposure is the added value I bring to the company because thanks to the experiences I’ve had, I’m quicker and more flexible when it comes to reacting to changes or when it comes to fit into new roles/responsibilities. I believe companies appreciate this “edge” I bring with me and leverage it to achieve their goals.
