NETHERLANDS – STAFFING GROWTH REMAINS STEADY

According to the Dutch Federation of Private Employment Agencies (ABU), hours worked by temporary workers stayed the same and turnover did not change either for the fifth period (weeks 17-20) compared to the same period last year.

ABU divides the year into four-week periods reported, with period 5 the most recently ended. This period had two workable days more compared to the same period last year, so a significant correction was applied.

Temporary workers in the administrative sector saw a 6% decrease in hours worked and turnover fell by 6% compared to last year. Hours in the industrial sector increased 4% and turnover increased 4% compared to the same period last year. Furthermore, the amount of worked hours in the technical sector increased 3% and turnover grew 1%.
