| Meet Annisa

What starts as a study abroad experience can sometimes turn into a life-changing journey.
When Annisa moved from Indonesia to the Netherlands in 2018, her goal was clear: pursue a Master's degree in Tourism, Society and Environment at Wageningen University. Drawn by the Netherlands' strong reputation for sustainability, environmental studies and international education, she saw an opportunity to combine her interest in tourism with broader societal and environmental challenges.

Like many expats, Annisa experienced the challenges and rewards of adapting to a new culture. Living and studying in an international environment taught her independence, resilience and adaptability. It also introduced her to different perspectives that continue to shape the way she approaches both work and life today.

One of the biggest lessons came from adapting to Dutch culture and the workplace.
"Dutch culture taught me to be more direct, open to feedback and confident in expressing my own opinion. Those experiences helped me grow both personally and professionally."

In 2023, Annisa joined Schmidt Global Relocations as a Move Manager. Today, she is a Team Leader, supporting colleagues and helping our clients navigate their own international journeys. Looking back, what started as an academic decision became the foundation for a career, personal growth and a new home.
"Moving here for my studies became much more than an academic journey. The Netherlands has become a place where I built my career, developed as a person and created a life of my own."

At Schmidt, we know that every relocation story is unique. Annisa's journey is a wonderful example of how embracing new experiences can open doors to unexpected opportunities.

Thank you for sharing your story, Annisa.

As summer comes to an end, many organisations shift their attention to workforce planning, budget forecasting, and strategic priorities for the year ahead. This makes September one of the most important months for HR leaders, Global Mobility teams, and business decision-makers to start planning international relocations.

The demand for global talent continues to grow. According to the Worldwide ERC®, more than 70% of organisations expect employee mobility to remain the same or increase as businesses expand into new markets and compete for specialised talent.

At the same time, international assignments remain a critical business tool. Research from KPMG shows that global mobility programmes are increasingly being used to support skills gaps, leadership development, and business growth objectives, rather than simply filling temporary vacancies.

So why do many companies begin relocation planning in September?
✅ Prepare for January start dates
Many international assignments, leadership relocations, and project deployments are scheduled to begin in January. Starting the process in September allows sufficient time for immigration, housing, shipment scheduling, and destination services.
✅ Avoid year-end bottlenecks
Visa processing, housing availability, and moving capacity can become more constrained during the final quarter of the year. Early planning helps organisations secure preferred timelines and reduce operational risk.
✅ Support employee experience
Employee wellbeing remains a key concern. According to Cartus' Global Mobility Survey, organisations continue to place greater emphasis on family support, destination services, and employee experience during relocations. Providing employees with more preparation time can significantly reduce relocation-related stress and improve assignment success.
✅ Improve budget control
As businesses start forecasting for the next financial year, September offers an ideal opportunity to assess upcoming mobility requirements and accurately budget for assignments, transfers, and international moves.
✅ Align talent mobility with business strategy
Whether supporting expansion into new markets or moving key talent to strategic locations, early planning ensures mobility programmes are aligned with organisational goals and workforce needs.

Looking ahead starts now
International relocation is no longer simply about moving people from one location to another. It is an essential part of workforce strategy, talent development, and business growth. Organisations that begin planning in September gain greater flexibility, improved cost control, and a smoother experience for relocating employees and their families.

At Schmidt Global Relocations, we help businesses plan and manage international moves with confidence, ensuring employees are supported every step of the journey.

Did you know that the timing of an import container can directly impact costs?

In the Netherlands, clients need to be registered at the municipality before their shipment can be cleared under the correct conditions.
If a shipment arrives too early, this can lead to:
- Duties and taxes
- Storage and handling costs

Aligning shipment timelines with the client’s readiness is key to avoiding these challenges. A small detail in planning, with a big impact on the overall relocation experience.

National Moving Day UK: planning is everything

National Moving Day always marks a peak moment in the UK relocation calendar. With higher volumes and increased pressure on capacity, this is where planning and coordination truly make the difference.

With frequent relocations to and from the UK, we see how important it is to:
✔ Align early on timelines
✔ Set realistic expectations
✔ Stay flexible during busy periods
Even during peak demand, a structured and collaborative approach keeps relocations running smoothly.

Wishing all our partners a well-coordinated Moving Day.
How are you experiencing capacity and planning on the UK lane this season?

Please note that our South African office will be closed on Monday, 10 August, as they observe National Women's Day.

Today, we celebrate the women who help keep South Africa moving. From logistics coordinators and customs specialists to drivers, warehouse teams, and business leaders, women continue to play an increasingly important role across the supply chain industry.

Women's Day commemorates the historic 1956 march of more than 20,000 women to the Union Buildings in Pretoria, who stood together to advocate for equality and change.

To all the remarkable women within our team, our partners, and our customers: thank you for your dedication, resilience, and leadership.
Happy Women's Day, South Africa!

| Lessons from life abroad
Relocation is about so much more than moving from one country to another. It is about growth, resilience, family, and discovering what truly matters.

Meet Sylvia Coetzee, one of our own at Schmidt Global Relocations. Sylvia relocated to the Netherlands with her husband and two children, embracing a new culture, building a new life, and navigating all the opportunities and challenges that come with an international move.

During this time, her family gained experiences that shaped them in ways they never expected. From watching her children adapt and thrive, to building lifelong friendships and discovering new perspectives, every chapter taught valuable lessons. These experiences are reflected in the seven insights shared in this carousel.

One lesson stands above all others: home is not just a place. It is the people who support, encourage, and grow with you through every stage of life. This understanding ultimately led Sylvia and her family to return to South Africa, where she continues to support clients as part of our South African team.
Today, Sylvia's personal relocation journey helps her connect with clients on a deeper level. She understands that behind every move is a unique story, and behind every shipment is a family navigating a major life transition.

Fresh air, beautiful scenery, and great company.
For our team building day, we took to the roads and nature trails around Woudenberg on classic Solex bikes. Over the course of two hours, we enjoyed the beautiful surroundings, shared plenty of laughs, and strengthened the connections that help us work together every day.
Moments like these remind us that strong teams are built both inside and outside the office. 🚲

The Netherlands is reopening the door to skilled migrants. And that's good news for businesses.

After a period of uncertainty around migration policies, the Dutch government is signalling a renewed focus on attracting highly skilled international talent to support economic growth, innovation, and competitiveness. From technology and engineering to healthcare and logistics, many sectors continue to face talent shortages that cannot be solved through local recruitment alone. Skilled migration has long played an important role in helping Dutch businesses access the expertise they need while strengthening the country's position as a global hub for innovation and commerce.

For the global mobility and relocation industry, this shift highlights the importance of creating seamless pathways for international talent and their families. Successful migration is not only about visas and compliance. It's about enabling people to settle, integrate, and contribute from day one.

As organisations continue to compete for talent on a global scale, countries that create welcoming, efficient, and predictable immigration frameworks will have a distinct advantage.

What are your thoughts? Will this new approach help the Netherlands remain an attractive destination for international professionals?

🌍 Switzerland as a premium relocation destination in Europe

Switzerland continues to stand out as one of the most attractive destinations for international talent in Europe.

According to the Immigration Index 2026, the country ranks highly due to its strong economy, quality of life, and stable infrastructure; making it a consistent choice for global mobility programmes. At the same time, relocating into Switzerland requires a structured and well-informed approach.

As a non-EU country, Switzerland brings additional complexity compared to many European destinations:
_ Customs requirements differ from EU relocations
_ Documentation must be carefully prepared and aligned. Timing and coordination are essential to ensure smooth clearance.

Our experience on the ground
Switzerland is a destination we support frequently, with regular operational touchpoints across key regions.

This hands-on experience allows us to:
✔ Navigate customs procedures with confidence
✔ Align closely with local requirements
