Female managers are more likely to have burnout complaints than male managers,reports the Central Bureau for Statistics (CBS) in the Netherlands.
Last year, 14% of women in management positions had these complaints, according to the CBS. They felt themselves completely exhausted to do their work, or that it demanded a lot from them throughout the day to work with people. With men, it was about 10%.
Of the 6.9 million employees, there are nearly 350,000 professional managers. From all male employees, over 7% have a managerial position, and of all female employees this is at 3%.This difference is because many women work part-time.

Higher Workload

Women with a management function not only report more burnout symptoms, they also experience a higher workload.
“More often than men in management, they have to work extra hard or very fast, or they have to do a lot of work”, said the statistics office. The workload is particularly high in education and health, where relatively many female managers work.
Women with burnout complaints reported that several times a month they are feeling empty at the end of a workday. They are also often emotionally exhausted or tired in the morning when confronted with the work
The Social Affairs and Employment Inspectorate advised to enlist the help of experts.

Together Abroad provided expert advice on personal branding including developing a top-notch, market-aware CV, highly tailored job applications, and approach strategies with potential employers in the Netherlands. Furthermore, I found them be highly knowledgeable in key related fields such as recruitment strategy, immigration law, contracts, labor agreements, and (un)employment benefits. I would recommend Together Abroad to anyone who needs professional help with transitioning to a new career.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands

If you are going to enlist the services of a "Career Coach" look no further. The only person you want in your corner is Linda van Orsouw. As an expat, you absolutely want to work with a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional who knows their way around the Dutch career/employment/job market. Linda assisted me in writing and positioning my CV, helped me organize and prioritize my list of opportunities, coached me through mock interviews and was there when I got offered a senior position only 2 months later. When asked I will only refer to Linda and "Togetherabroad".
