VodafoneZiggo also wants to see more staff in the office and tightens rules

VodafoneZiggo plans to require office employees to work three days on-site, up from two, as part of a new hybrid work policy. A temporary departure scheme will be available for those unable to comply, which is voluntary and open in January. The proposal is pending approval from the works council and aims for implementation by January 1. The company emphasizes the benefits of in-person collaboration and knowledge sharing. A recent court ruling favored Booking.com in a similar case, allowing them to mandate office attendance, highlighting the need for employers to consider individual circumstances. Many Dutch workers continue to work from home post-pandemic, with 3.6 million still doing so regularly.
