Oh, that tight labor market ... this is how to keep your staff longer!

Therefore, invest smartly now in the language skills of employees through the "Count along with Language" subsidy scheme. The cost of Dutch language training is low because a large part (67%) is reimbursed. Consider, for example, a training course "Dutch on the shop floor" or "Dutch on the production floor.

Language training pays off

• communicate more efficiently and effectively;
• experiencing less stress and making mistakes;
• feel more involved in the organization;
• more understanding of each other;
• experience fewer misunderstandings among themselves;
• better utilize their potential;
• report sick less often;
• much less likely to change employers.

So that's quite a lot! This subsidy scheme is therefore an excellent opportunity to invest in foreign language staff right now.
