Leerdoelen
- Understand key aspects of Dutch work culture
- Improve your communication with Dutch colleagues
- Learn how to be direct in the Dutch way without being rude
Understanding the Dutch work culture can be challenging. We've all heard these cultural stereotypes: the Dutch are very direct, always express their opinions, and have flat hierarchies in their companies. You probably already know this. In this masterclass, we'll take it a couple of steps further: what stands behind these and other characteristics and how you can use this information to communicate more effectively, whether during job interviews or team meetings.
What will you learn:
- Key components of the Dutch work culture that are especially important to understand for newcomers.
- Effective communication with Dutch people in Dutch companies.
- How your own culture differs from Dutch work culture and how to use this knowledge for effective communication.

In events, I value most a mix of the new learning experience and heart-to-heart connection. I always strive to create a friendly environment where everyone feels welcome.
Ik heb JobOn ervaren als een positieve organisatie, waarin je je gekend weet en waar je de mogelijkheid wordt geboden om je vaardigheden te versterken, je persoonlijk te ontwikkelen en je netwerk te vergroten. De werkzaamheden voor JobOn gaven mij energie en een gevoel van waarde. Juist als je werkzoekend bent kan dat echt een verschil maken in hoe je je werkloosheid ervaart.
