It is possible to change visit visa to a permanent visa. To bring her over, your company needs to provide her with a "sponsored' family visa which they can then later convert to a dependent visa with the right documents. She can also apply for an "un-sponsored" visa but the requirements are more and no guarantee that she will get it.
