Reintegration for internationals

When you return to work after long-term absence, the first goal is always to have you return to your current position with your current employer. If this is not possible, the HR department and/or your supervisor will look for another suitable position within your own organization. We call this reintegration on the first track.

Both you and your employer have a responsibility in the success of the reintegration. Together you draw up an action plan to make the reintegration as smooth as possible. Should you be unable to resolve this with your employer due to miscommunication, for example because of misunderstandings, different expectations or changes during your absence, the specialists at Dijk & Van Emmerik can support and assist you.

In some cases it is not possible to return to a position with your current employer. For example, when there is no suitable position available or when the relationship is so disrupted that returning to the organization is no longer possible. You thus enter the second-track reintegration process. Together, we set out to find a suitable job for you with another employer.

This is not always easy: after all, you start from a position of being unwell and this can feel like an extra burden in your search for a new job. At Dijk & Van Emmerik, we are happy to help you with this.

It significantly impacts your life when you become unwell and are unable to work. Your life suddenly looks very different. For some people, the process of coming to terms with this loss can be compared to a grieving process. We guide you through this.

Losing a job can put a big dent in your self-confidence. This makes finding a new job more difficult. It is therefore important to regain confidence in yourself first. We offer you the tools to become more self-confident, so that you can look for a new job with fresh courage or perhaps even make a new start as an entrepreneur.

Being forced to look for alternative employment isn’t just tedious. It is also an opportunity to discover what you really like. With career coaching (loopbaancoaching) and a vocational choice test (beroepskeuzetest), we will find out whether the type of job you previously held (still) suits you. See reintegration as a unique opportunity to do something completely different. Something that, in other circumstances, you might not dare to do.

When you start looking for a different line of work, it’s a excellent time to find out which job is a good fit for you. The best way to find out is to try new things. Our extensive network of employers enables us to find internships and work experience opportunities for you, so you can experience whether or not a a specific position or employer is a good fit for you.

During an assessment we identfy your talents and skills. An assessment is a reliable way to gain insight into your knowledge and competencies. During an assessment we employ a variety of measurement tools. Together we will find the right role role at a suitable organization based on the results.

The job market is changing rapidly and so are the ways of applying for jobs. If you are an employee who has worked for the same employer for an extended period of time and have not applied for a jobs in a while, it can be very helpful to refresh your interview skills with application coaching (sollicitatiebegeleiding). We teach you how to set yourself apart from the rest, in your own personal way.
