Useful Tips for Jobs in the Netherlands

Whether you work abroad or in your home country, one key element that contributes to a positive work experience is your relationship with your coworkers. At DB Work, employees are part of international teams, where they can collaborate with people from different countries or even with colleagues from their own country. Whether speaking their native language or using English to communicate, mutual understanding and respect make all the difference.

Teamwork - The Key to a Successful Experience

Every employee contributes to the success of the team, regardless of nationality or job title. In fields such as naval, industrial, construction, or logistics, teamwork is essential for projects to run smoothly and safely.

A good relationship with your colleagues:

• Creates a pleasant working environment
• Helps solve problems faster
• Improves collaboration and communication
• Eases integration into a new country
  
   

Tips for Effective Communication

Be open - Greet your colleagues, ask how they’re doing, and show interest in the team.

Use English - If you don't speak the same native language, English is the most common language used on sites and workplaces in the Netherlands.

Listen carefully - Everyone has their own working style. Be patient and pay attention to others.

Ask for help when needed - Especially if you are new, don't hesitate to ask questions. You’ll be surprised how many colleagues are willing to support you.

Avoid conflicts - If misunderstandings arise, try to resolve them calmly and respectfully through direct communication.

What Is Life Like in Shared Accommodation?

Beyond the workplace, many DB Work employees also live together in housing provided by the company. Respecting shared living rules helps maintain a peaceful and pleasant environment both at home and at work:

• Keep common areas clean
• Respect quiet hours
• Be mindful of music or loud activities
• Communicate openly and politely when issues arise
