Flexible Working Law 101
The Netherlands is a leader in flexible working law, yet most Works Councils (and in turn, their employees) are not properly informed about their rights. One of the top measures employers can take to support employee wellbeing is to implement flexible working policies. In this training, you will build the foundation of which flexible working measures employees are already entitled to by law, so your Works Council can educate them and form a stance on what further flexible working policies should be adopted in your organization.
Your Works Council Will:
Learn about why Flexible Working Policies are important
Build confidence on Dutch law when it comes to adjusting working hours, working locations, on-call policies, and long term leaves of absence.
Explore case law around flexible work
Get inspired by industry benchmarks & examples of progressive flexible work policies
Prerequisites:
