Cross-border cooperation, organising differently with a stronger regional commitment and making the effect of the Labour Authority’s work even more transparent, are three important developments that will be reflected in the year 2022.

Working with a colleague who has a bad cold but is afraid to call in sick. Colleagues sitting too close together in the canteen, without the company’s management intervening. These are a few examples of the types of COVID-related reports the Inspectorate SZW received in 2020, about 7,700 in total.
