Significado
To help someone.
Contexto cultural
The 'Poldermodel' emphasizes that all parties (government, employers, unions) should provide support to maintain social stability. In Flanders, 'steun verlenen' is equally formal but often appears in the context of 'verenigingsleven' (community clubs). In Surinamese Dutch, the phrase is used but often co-exists with more communal, informal expressions of help within large families. Modern Dutch companies focus on 'duurzame inzetbaarheid', where they provide support for employee mental health.
Use it in your Motivation Letter

Don't over-formalize
If you use this with your partner for small things, it might sound like you are treating the relationship like a business transaction.
