Employees Are Less Concerned About Jobs

Nowadays, not that many workers are worried about keeping their jobs. Particularly in the construction and care sectors, concern has sharply declined over the past three years.

The proportion of employees that worried about maintaining their jobs has decreased in all industries between 2013 and 2016, as shown by the Central Bureau of Statistics and Research Institute TNO. According to organizations, unemployment is declining, the number of vacancies increasing, and there are fewer reorganizations and reductions.

A Decline in Construction and Care

Three years ago, the concern reached 34%, the highest level since the beginning of the crisis. But last year, 24% of 15-65 year-olds in paid employment were worried about the future of the labor market. Especially in the construction sector, worries decreased sharply from 39% to 22%. There was also a sharp drop in care.

Concerns about job retention are the most common for employees of financial institutions such as banks and insurers. Relatively many workers in the sectors like transport and storage, and information and communication, are not feeling assured. In the hospitality, education, agriculture and fisheries industries, employees have relatively few worries.

However, we are not back at the old level yet. Before the crisis, only 16% of employees were worried about their job.

For an expat moving to the Netherlands, getting the right direction is very important. It's important that one knows which steps and direction to take. Linda is an exceptionally talent counselor, her advice has helped me land a job within a week of coming to the Netherlands. I am grateful for her mentoring and look forward to a great working relationship in the future.

Dr. Hrishiraj S | Clinical Research & Affairs Manager

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

S. Bhattacharjee | FP&A Manager

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".
