Higher amounts of investment needed towards staff training

Not all employers are providing the necessary maintenance for the knowledge bases of their employees. Only 31 percent of Dutch employees on permanent contracts have been offered the opportunity to take paid training by their employer. For temporary workers, this is 26 percent.

Employers should not only look at the permanent staff, but also towards their temporary staff. This would save additional reaction time and coordination costs between regular and temporary workers. In addition to this, these employees provide fresh ideas to the company, allowing it to conceptually expand. For temporary workers there are advantages as well. When faced with these types of challenges, temporary employees' can take the opportunity to continue their self development.

Royal A-Ware is an example of a company which works towards investing in its personnel. This is done by providing all personnel, including temporary employees, with mandatory courses. Here you can choose for formal and informal learning. “It is important to us that our employees stay with us for a long time. Too many changes in the staff can disrupt the process of production. Through training, temporary workers know what to do and we have a larger pond to fish from.”

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".
