Problem description
With the creation of the Demography Fund, the chemical, plastics and life sciences industry finances concrete projects to maintain and improve workability in the industry, with regards to demographic challenges and the consequences of the extension of working life. To this effect, the fund will spend part of the available gross salaries (rather than converting it into direct increase of purchasing power) on projects within the companies to promote workable work. Mid 2016 a group of experts was appointed to support the substantive start and the roll-out of the demography fund in the sector. This group of experts consists of 4 people: 1 ACLVB, 1 ACV, 1 ABVV and 1 Essenscia. The experts will receive the guidance of our academic expertise.
Solution
Our academic support consists of providing substantive frameworks, jointly drawing up approved texts, mapping out and following up on best practices, providing inspiring cases, organizing workshops….
