Optimising your workforce through external staffing solutions - Navigating through the Belgian and Dutch legal landscape

Rightsizing the workforce to match with fluctuating workloads poses a significant challenge for many HR professionals. Are you considering calling upon an interim worker or a self-employed consultant? How about using the services of an Employer of Record or an Umbrella Company? What about the ‘gig’ economy? The array of options appears limitless and easily accessible.

Are you an HR professional overseeing operations across various countries? Or are you exploring expansion opportunities in Belgium or the Netherlands, including seeking external flexible staffing solutions? Understanding and addressing local regulations is key to effective workforce optimisation. What may be standard practice in the Netherlands could differ significantly in Belgium, and vice versa.
