Qualified Emigration of Brazilians to Portugal: Proposal for an Action Plan for the Area of Human Resources Management in Portuguese Companies

The aim of this article is to a) describe the perception that Brazilians have about the advantages and disadvantages of daily work life in Portugal and b) propose an action plan to welcome Brazilians to Portugal in order to integrate, train and develop Brazilian workers, vis-à-vis an organizational development plan. The data were collected through testimonies from 25 Brazilians and civil society associations and organizations. In addition, we intend to reflect on human resources management policies and practices regarding the processes of attracting, integrating, training and developing Brazilians in Portuguese organizations. To this end, we structured the data analysis into three stages: a) Advantages faced by Brazilians b) Challenges (difficulties) faced by Brazilians and c) Proposals for companies.
