An expat coach will provide major benefits for companies hiring or relocating international employees:

Accelerated adaptation:
An expat coach helps expats acclimate to their new environment faster, which shortens the adjustment period. This can lead to faster productivity, as the employee feels more at home in the new culture and workplace.

Reducing misunderstandings and conflicts:
Cultural differences can lead to misunderstandings in the workplace. An expat coach offers guidance on how to bridge these differences and how to avoid conflicts or inefficiency.

Increased retention:
Employees who feel supported during their transfer are more likely to stay with the company longer. This reduces turnover and costs associated with finding and training replacement workers.

Family support:
An expat’s success often depends on how well their family adapts. A coach can also provide guidance to the partner and children, which ensures a more stable home situation and, therefore, a more focused and satisfied employee.

Increasing the effectiveness of expat programs:
Companies often invest a lot of money in expat programs. An expat coach can ensure that these investments are guarded by reducing the risks of the expat failing to be successful in the Netherlands resulting in the expat staying in the Netherlands.

Personal and professional development:
A coach helps the expat not only with adjustment, but also with pursuing personal and professional goals, which contributes to the expat’s growth and satisfaction, and therefore indirectly to the growth of the company.

Reduced stress and burnout risks:
Dealing with a new culture and work environment can be stressful. A coach can help to manage this stress and prevent burnout, which contributes to better overall employee health.
