Job Hopping? Most Employees Prefer to Be with One Boss

Now that the economic crisis is behind us, it seems obvious that many people are thinking about changing jobs. But nothing is less true: three quarters of the employees of SMEs and family businesses would like to work for the same boss at all times.

According to an inquiry by BDO consultancy firm, the employees of the above-mentioned companies prefer better working conditions such as holiday days and a business car rather than a high salary. In the survey, 1400 employees of SME and family companies were questioned and they prefer to be ‘in their comfort zone’, rather than be constantly challenged.

Furthermore, the research shows a big difference between high and low-skilled employees when it comes to motivation. The less educated go for security, such as a good pension, whereas the highly educated prefer a salary depending on their performance, for example in the form of bonuses.

Higher Educated Are More Ambitious

Higher educated employees prefer to change employers compared to the lower educated employees (31% vs. 14%), and compared to the lower educated, the preference for a high salary is also higher (62% vs. 43%).

The survey also shows that employees of family businesses are more loyal than their colleagues in another SME. Remarkably, in a family business, employees have less need for freedom than in SMEs.

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".
