During the past year, most immigration updates were usually linked to the Covid-19 travel restrictions. In this podcast, we try to focus on the recent and upcoming changes in the Belgian and EU landscapes, which are not related to Covid-19.

We have chosen two topics, which we find relevant for Belgian employers and international organizations to know, that will be discussed in this podcast. The first topic is the implementation of the Belgian search year residence card. As a second topic, we have chosen to discuss the Entry and Exit system and the European Travel Information and Authorisation system. These are new systems that will be operational in 2022 and have been introduced in order to strengthen the security checks on people crossing the Schengen borders.

The podcast will allow the listeners to better understand these upcoming changes, and eventually plan and organize their immigration and travel policies accordingly.

The culture and purpose of your organisation can be a competitive advantage in attracting and retaining people. It is important to know that copying a culture from another high performing company simply does not work, every company’s cultural situation is as unique as a fingerprint.

But how can you proceed? There is a way: by building on your own company’s cultural strengths, within its unique cultural situation, and finding the factors that will bolster and draw forth the commitment and emotional energy that employees are willing to give. Start proactively managing culture, which will likely involve building new capabilities to ensure that you’re firing up all the relevant culture enablers — both formal and informal — for your organisation.

The world of work is developing rapidly. The digital revolution had already increased the pace of change, and the impact of COVID-19 has only added fuel to fire. The pandemic showed us that companies are ready and willing to truly embrace flexible and remote working. Indeed, across industries and geographies, people have proved that we can drastically change the way in which we get work done, irrespective of workplace and time.

This has created an opportunity that should not be wasted. Now is the time to innovate and define a new path. It’s the time to take the decision to experiment and embrace change.

A successful business requires a balance between its triangular ecosystem of workplace, work type and workforce, with the employee experience at the centre. The future way of working will be hybrid, digital, inclusive and fair. The future of work is now. Are you ready?
