HR Implications of the Summer Agreement

In July this year, the Belgian federal government reached a budgetary agreement that will lead to significant socioeconomic reforms. By December, most of the relevant legislative texts will have been implemented, and on December 13, Crowell & Moring has invited two Advisors from the Federation of Enterprises in Belgium (FEB / VBO) to discuss the HR related reforms. In the company of these knowledgeable and experienced professionals, we will bring you up to speed on new developments such as those regarding new notice periods, a new tax-friendly company profit premium, a new right for employees to be offline and related anti-burnout measures, mystery calls from the social inspection unit, the new ‘cash for car’ principle, the impact of GDPR on HR, etc.

 

In addition to updating you on these important topics, this seminar will also give you an opportunity to exchange best practices and network with likeminded professionals. To accommodate all our guests, our presentations will be in Dutch and French, and materials will be supplied in English.

 

Speakers

Monica De Jonghe and Marie-Noëlle Vanderhoven, Senior Advisers for the Federation of Enterprises in Belgium (VBO / FEB)
