People who occasionally work from home, often miss family activities more than workers who work from home on a regular basis or fulltime at an office.

In 2015in the Netherlands, nearly 3 million people worked at home, in a total of 8.6 million workers (employed or self-employed). Of that 3 million more than 60% worked on an irregular basis, according to the research by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) and TNO research institute. The remaining 38% worked at home regularly.

Teachers often work occasionally at home, presumably to check papers. Also, managing directors and managers work at home occasionally. People who frequently work at home are writers or photographers. Even advisers in marketing and sales often work from home.

Struggling with Balance Between Work and Family

On the CBS figures regarding overtime, it is clearly reflected that those who do work at home a little bit are struggling to find a good balance. They often complain more about work pressure than people who do not work at home or that do so regularly. Often, people who only occasionally work at home close their laptopjust to finish working.

The overtime on an irregular basis also ensures that this group often neglects the family. Of those who only occasionally work from home, 61% said that the family sometimes takes second place: activities are not done or neglected.

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

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".
