Work stress is a major problem in the Netherlands. One in seven people suffer from it in The Netherlands, alone, which equates to more than one million people. The Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour has organised a week in order to combat work stress together with TNO and Focal Point Week. This will be taking place from 16 to 19 November.

Each company can contribute its own way towards the Week of Work stress. More than one hundred companies have organised different activities to help against stress to raise awareness. For example, there are discussion seminars, various interviews, but also yoga workshops, stress test and lunch time exercise.

The Netherlands is still paying too little attention towards work-related stress. This is evident from the fact that workers aged 25 to 25 years, face the most burnout symptoms. By stimulating conversations about this, it is hoped to increas ethe chance of recognising stress and burnout symptoms early. The week of work stress consists of four days, each with a different theme.

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".
