Global employee benefits and expat insurance: centralised solutions with local impact

Tue 10 June 2025

Secure and support your international workforce with centralised global benefits
When Dutch companies expand internationally, their responsibility to employees grows along with their footprint. From pensions and healthcare to sustainable employability and expat support, managing global employee benefits is complex—and often fragmented.

Meijers Global & Specialty simplifies this complexity by centrally coordinating all international insurance and employee benefits for your workforce abroad. We ensure compliance with local laws while aligning solutions with your employees’ personal needs—anywhere in the world.

 Why global benefits need central coordination
Labour laws, social security systems and healthcare standards vary from country to country. Without central oversight, businesses risk non-compliance, inefficiencies and dissatisfied employees. Meijers works from its headquarters in Amstelveen and coordinates all global programmes via a trusted network of international brokers.

What you get:

  • One point of contact for all global benefits
  • Strategic advice per region or country
  • Access to top-tier local insurance partners
  • Tailor-made packages aligned with business and HR strategy

 What’s included in a global benefits programme?
We support international employers with a wide range of services, including:

  • Pension schemes aligned with local rules
  • Health insurance tailored to country-specific requirements
  • Disability and life insurance with regional compliance
  • Vitality and well-being programmes focused on long-term employability
  • Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs) for expats dealing with stress, relocation or trauma

Each programme is fully customisable, designed to protect your people and your company.

 Health insurance for expats: quality care worldwide
Access to quality healthcare is critical for expats. Meijers selects the most suitable international medical insurance programmes, including:

  • Medical evacuation and repatriation
  • Specialist treatment abroad
  • Access to global hospital networks
  • 24/7 multilingual support

We also handle all administrative tasks and provide personal support to your expats—so they can focus on their assignments, not their insurance.

 Favourable conditions and constant monitoring
With our market knowledge and negotiation power, Meijers ensures that you always receive the most favourable tariffs and terms. Our team continuously monitors developments to keep your international benefit plans compliant, competitive and aligned with your HR strategy.
