THE HAGUE – Employees are more often given the chance to opt for fringe benefits, such as more days off, extra wages, training compensation or a supplementary pension.
A small minority of Dutch businesses offers their employees the possibility to create their own fringe benefit package. Other businesses have indicated to be planning this too. This became clear from research by employers’ organization AWVN performed under its members. The most important reason for employers to offer more options is to satisfy their employees better. Over three quarters of businesses state this is their motive. Larger businesses (over 500 employees) rate highest in offering options (71 per cent). At 78 per cent, the financial services rate highest of all business sectors. AWVN concludes that employees prefer extra days off or a bicycle provided by their employer. According to the employers’ organization this solution is part of the ‘better understanding between employers and employees’ trend.

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.

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".
