Working from home in The Netherlands
Share of teleworking employees growing

Over the past years, the share of employees working from home has risen to nearly one in three in 2012. Half of employees could take leave whenever they wanted and more than one in five could set their own working hours on a regular basis.

One in three employees are working from home
A growing group of employees are working from home. In 2005, one quarter of employees reported to work at home at least one hour a week, versus nearly one third in 2012. On average, employees work nearly 6 hours a week from home

Half of employees can take leave whenever they deem necessary
Half of employees reported last year they could regularly decide themselves when to take leave and one third could do this occasionally. A minority of employees can, to a certain extent, set their own working hours: 22 percent can set their own working hours regularly and 23 percent occasionally.

One in ten can work from home and choose their own working hours
Nearly one in five employees report they can take leave whenever they please and choose their own working hours. More than half - one in every ten employees – are working from home at least one hour a week.

Highest share of teleworkers in sector education
The highest proportion of teleworkers are found in the sector education; more than two thirds of employees are working from home at least one hour a week, but few people employed in education can choose when to take leave and set their own working hours. The sectors hotels and restaurants, transport and storage, construction and trade have the lowest teleworking rate and few people employed in these sectors can choose themselves when to take leave and set their own working hours on a regular basis.

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".
