Two in Five Employees Work From Home Sometimes

Approximately two in five workers sometimes do their work from home. On average they do that about eight hours a week- a full working day.
20% of the Dutch work one day a week from home. Ten years earlier this was 15% according to the Social and Cultural Planning Office (SCP).
According to their figures, the growth corresponds to the number of hours that people need to complete their work. One third of the people who work from home do so to finish their work.
22% claim that concentration and efficiency are important reasons to do the work from home. The removal of travel time and the ability to combine caring responsibilities with work are less important reasons (11% and 8% respectively).
In a report last month, SCP wrote that part-timers have remarkably fewer opportunities to work flexibly than people who are working full-time. Men, people over 55, and people with higher education have the most opportunities to work flexibly.

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.

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".
