Outgoing ASML CEO Peter Wennink joined the debate at the end of January. He spoke firmly about the importance of labor migration in our country. The Netherlands cannot do without labor migration and must be competitive to remain attractive to labor migrants in the future. This 'war on talent' is a global competition and if we lose it in the Netherlands and in the EU, much of our current innovative power will be lost. If the Netherlands is no longer attractive to knowledge migrants, he argued, then ASML will be forced to expand outside our country. The caretaker government responded almost immediately. Together with the Eindhoven region, a strong impulse is given to housing and innovation in the Brainport region.
Peter Wennink recently spoke to a large group of concerned stakeholders; employers, researchers, advisors, employer and employee organizations and scientists. The Netherlands, he said, must be a responsible society that ensures the decent treatment of migrant workers. Of course fair compensation and good housing, but also access to education and medical care. The attendees wholeheartedly agreed with this promising perspective. But it didn't stop there. Almost unanimously it was concluded that something really needs to happen now and that we should not wait to see what The Hague comes up with. We need to make ourselves heard.
Not only should employment agencies point out the importance of labor migration and advocate for the eradication of abuses, but large companies should also make themselves heard. Engaging in conversation with each other, with the labor unions (there is more that unites us, than divides us) and with politics. Provide examples, outline interests, express concerns, make proposals. Don't wait, but speak up, engage in conversation and make clear what you stand for. Peter Wennink has shown that it works.
In his column for Flexmarkt, Frank van Gool calls on politicians to finally make choices. In any case, rogue employment agencies should be dealt with much harder. But in addition, choices must be made regarding labor migration. Van Gool calls for this to be done with urgency.

Society is generally critical of migration, while migration is inevitable and a certain degree of labor migration is necessary for the Dutch labor market. This negative sentiment is reinforced by the problems that exist in the field of labor migration. Rightly so that this was a major theme during the elections, rightly so that this is an important file during the formation. But it's not good that we, as directly involved parties and stakeholders, continue to stare like a rabbit in the headlights and passively wait for what is conjured up from the Hague's top hat. My call to everyone is therefore: make your voice heard!
Frank van Gool made the news this week for being the only entrepreneur to ask a question during the SBS6 election debate. In the column for Flexmarkt, he explains why he did so.
In his column for Flexmarkt, Frank van Gool of OTTO Work Force advocates the introduction of an “orange card” for migrant workers from outside the EU. This should be the solution to shortages in crucial sectors, such as (health) care and technical branches.
Frank van Gool (OTTO Work Force) is aware that running a business is not just about key financial figures. Still, in his column for Flexmarkt, he admits to be curious about OTTO’s position in the Flexmarkt Turnover Ranking (Omzetranglijst) which is about to be published.
