Dutch energy company Essent offers its employees the best working environment in the Netherlands and has won the Winning Workplace award for most progressive office.
The headquarters of Essent in Den Bosch showed in the final of this election with competitor Eneco, in Rotterdam and wholesaler Makro in Amsterdam coming in behind.
Innovative culture
Essent reached the top three of the election thanks to a public vote on the internet combined with a jury verdict. The jury looked at factors such as the companies building, the location, the workplaces and the way the participating organizations created an open and innovative culture for their employees.
Home based work
Essent owes its victory to more than just the Den Bosch office. The jury also judged the company based on how it supports its employees in the so-called New World of Work. Essent Facility manager Marcel Broumels: "Essent supplies its employees with a home based work office which includes all modern conveniences such as a desk, chair and IT and telecom facilities which supports and improved productivity while working from home."
Successor: Vodafone
The Winning Workplace Award is an initiative of real estate company Jones Lang LaSalle. The award is presented every two years to office users who are progressive and innovative in the field of housing. Telecommunications giant Vodafone, which won the first edition in 2011 was the runner up to Essent in this year’s awards.

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".
