Moving to Amsterdam as an expat

Don’t let the city’s small size fool you, as Amsterdam is as much of a business and industry hub as it is a culturally rich spot on the map. So the next time you’re thinking of those Instagram-perfect narrow houses with gabled facades reflecting on canal water, remember that this image goes hand in hand with cutting-edge industries and thousands of internationals with different backgrounds buzzing through the streets, sharing, reflecting, and making the most of what the city has to offer.

Major companies in the fields of technology, film industry, travel, fashion, and more choose Amsterdam as home to their headquarters and offices within the region.

To put things in numbers, Amsterdam welcomed over 130 international companies in the year 2021 alone in the fields of tech, logistics, health, and creative industries, breaking its own 2020 record by creating twice as many jobs that year so we’re positive the future can only be bright for this Dutch gem overflowing with bikes.

What is Employee Relocation?

Employee relocation, also known as global mobility, serves to transfer candidates, their families, or entire departments of an organisation to a new location. Relocation in this case is classified as an employee benefit, a function that’s usually administered by the organization’s HR department, with much of the hands-on support outsourced to a relocation management company or a destination service provider.

What does an international employee relocation consist of?

This is where HR departments can find it useful to outsource their programmes to a relocation management company or destination service provider that has local, on-the-ground knowledge and experience to support the employee through the relocation maze. 

Some standard elements to be considered for an international relocation package or policy are: 

  • Immigration
  • Temporary accommodation
  • Area information guides
  • Orientation
  • Home Search
  • School Search
  • Furniture & Appliance Rental
  • Moving
  • Tenancy Management
  • Travel Management
  • Expense Management
  • Cultural Training
  • Language Training
  • Departure Services
  • Integration
Should my company offer relocation packages?

Relocation packages are valuable recruitment tools. As a company, you want to be known as a place that values great employees and as an employer that takes care of its talent and pays for performance, as opposed to attracting entitled workers looking to take advantage of your benefits. Like most things in talent recruitment, there are no easy answers. It comes down to your company’s needs and image. When building relocation packages, always assess the risks and costs, weigh the pros and cons, and be flexible.
