Need expat assistant

Help your expat feel at home quickly?

We're glad to help you!

Do you hire new expats frequently and are you looking for a specialist to help welcome them in their new country? To assure the highest chance of success for your new employee,and maybe even their family? Then it might be a good decision to hire an expat assistant. 

Feel at home quickly 

Of course a lot will change for the expat when they start working for your company. The expat is leaving his or her trusted environment and will be overthrown by new things daily. In the office the situation will be mostly the same as before and there will be shared interests with other colleagues, but what happens after that? What will happen at the end of the day? And most colleagues go home?  Especially in the initial phase there is the need for information about all the rules in The Netherlands, (regional) habits etc. An expat assistant can assist with:

  • bank account, insurance, internet and telephone
  • registration at local authorities and local healthcare services
  • visiting local markets and shopping areas
  • advice on the available options for local (sport) clubs or religious communities 
  • a professional expat assistant with international experience will help your employee through the first period of their stay. Of course according to your wishes and budget. 

Personal 

The expat assistant has special training, and is experienced and educated in the interaction with your professional employee. Professional, but also very personal. Focused on the expat, and potentially on their family. This way the expat can happily contribute their share to your company.

We would happily bring you in contact with a professional expat assistant from our worldwide network. The right person to help you in every country.

Please do not hesitate to email us. We would be glad to help you. A good preparation means a more carefree move!

We are extremely satisfied with how everything went. Almost everything was arranged and communicated exceptionally well. The only point for improvement concerns passing on the exact pin location of the delivery address in France to the driver. He didn’t know exactly where he needed to be, so we had to provide the details again.

Additionally, the truck arrived in France a day earlier and very early in the morning. Fortunately, our helping hand in France was flexible, so this wasn’t a problem. The driver did call us about this in advance, as he knew we needed to transfer the goods to reach the house and that we had arranged a smaller van for this ourselves.

Very professional moving company. Overall process was very satisfying, smooth and efficient, with great communication in a friendly manner at all levels of the organization. I always got a Yes from De Haan. Fast reaction times to my questions or to accommodate to new demands from me (i.e. change of relocation dates). Right price.  Moving between countries can be an stressing experience but with De Haan the stress for the physical move was totally gone. Thanks De Haan!
