Having worked and lived abroad myself, I experienced the trials and tribulations of an international relocation process through real-life. Being a parent and raising  a bilingual family I understand family requirements and have extensive knowledge of local services & practices in the Amsterdam region.

The Employer Perspective

Their ability to cope with change is a valuable asset of internationals. Moving abroad requires people to totally rebuilt their life. To do so succesfully, they have to show: eagerness, determination, bravery and leadership skills.

How to help them thrive in their new jobs? Lessons learned in top sport about performance excellence are making their way into business environments, such as: get into the right rhythm a.s.a.p. and also provide enough opportunities to rest/recover.

Or, translated into expat terms: quickly build new routines, eat & sleep well, organise personal affairs. It is important to realise that these more personal needs are essential to achieving excellent job performance. More…

The Expat Perspective

Relocating to another country is both exciting and challenging, as there is much to organise in your professional and your personal life.

Bringing over a partner and/or family might cause extra concerns, as you are looking to ensure they settle easily into their new surroundings. Fortunately, the Amsterdam region hosts good schools, lots of sports facilities and it is easy to get around, especially if you dare to cycle!

My advice is to prepare well beforehand and understand the steps to be taken along the way. Our support starts with identifying your specific needs and providing you with your very own personal checklist, recommended service providers and hands-on assistance. More…
