Helmond-De Peel region is an important economic engine, in which international workers play a major role. But working and living in a new country brings challenges. Perhaps you, as a migrant worker, have questions about housing, finances or your rights as an employee. Or are you an employer and would you like to supervise your international employees better? Work in NL will help you on your way.
What does Work in NL do?
Work in NL is an information point for migrant workers and employers in Helmond-De Peel. Here you get practical help and answers to questions about living, working and life in the Netherlands. This can be done in Polish, Romanian, Hungarian and English, so you can be helped in your own language.
Migrant workers and jobseekers
Do you have questions about work, housing or finances? Work in NL offers information and guidance. So you stand stronger in the Netherlands. You can contact Work in NL with questions about:
- Employment rights and contracts
- Housing and registration with the municipality
- Health insurance and taxes
- Debt assistance and financial support
Romana Hartmans, coordinator of Work in NL at LEVgroep in Helmond, shares a practical example: "A Polish man came to us with financial worries. He had not paid his fixed expenses for seven months and had lost track. Together we made a budget review and looked at how he could improve his situation. That worked out, and we referred him to the municipality's debt assistance service." This help allowed him to regain control of his situation.
Employers
Employers in Helmond-De Peel are increasingly working with international employees. This requires clear communication and understanding of cultural differences. Work in NL supports employers with questions about language and communication in the workplace, helps understand cultural differences and refers employees to the right bodies where necessary. This support enables employers to create a pleasant working environment in which everyone feels welcome. After all, a well-informed employee is a motivated employee. And that, in turn, contributes to a stable and productive labour market.
