Led by ONL founder Hans Biesheuvel, CEOs Han Kolff (HeadFirst Group), Jeroen Zwinkels (Manpower) and Dominique Hermans (Randstad) and chairman Cristel van de Ven of Vereniging Zelfstandigen Nederland talked about the future of the labor market. The roundtable can now be viewed back.
Part 1
The labor market is becoming more flexible. This trend will continue in the coming years. The permanent contract is not the solution and political The Hague must become aware of these developments. What is the role of flex companies in this development and how can we support The Hague?
Thesis: Flexibilization of the labor market creates a lot of job insecurity, a bigger gap between rich and poor, and it encourages false self-employment.
Part 2
The focus in The Hague is mainly on tackling false self-employment. Although it is a very small group, we are not against it. How can we fight false self-employment, but at the same time continue to give real entrepreneurs space?
Thesis: Establishing a basic social system for all working people provides security for those who need it and a basis for entrepreneurship for those who want it.
Part 3
What role can major HR service providers within the flex industry play in keeping people sustainably employable? How can we educate/train and guide flex workers and self-employed workers from job to job?
Thesis: Training and personal development is the responsibility of the self-employed and the flex worker themselves.
