What freedom of movement means to employers: R2M Solution

What does freedom of movement mean to your business?

This was the question that the #EURES25 competition asked employers from across Europe to answer. Employers were asked to send a picture that represents what freedom of movement means to their business, and the prizes for the winners included vouchers worth €500.

Many of the employers also submitted accompanying captions in which they reflected on how EURES programmes such as European (Online) Job Days, Your first EURES job and Reactivate have helped their businesses benefit from freedom of movement, by supporting them to recruit candidates from across the EU.

The three competition winners were announced during an award ceremony at the EURES 25th Anniversary Event in Brussels on 30 January. The first of these winners was R2M Solution, a consulting company with four branches across Europe. This is their story.

Will you guess how many nationalities are represented here?

This is a picture of my company – R2M Solution – during our Christmas meeting held in Pavia, Italy, 18 December 2019.

Prizes included a €500 language course and employability skills training.
