The Future of Workforce Planning in Belgium

The Belgian labour market is changing faster than most companies can adapt. Multi-jobbers, the 2027 time registration law, AI-assisted scheduling, and the shift from reactive to proactive workforce planning — all of it is arriving at once.

This half-day event brings together HR leaders, staffing agency directors, and operations professionals to talk about what’s actually working. Practical sessions, real cases, and honest conversations about where the industry is headed.

What you’ll take away

This event is built around one question: what does a well-run workforce operation actually look like in 2026, and what does it need to look like by 2027?

You’ll hear directly from operators who have made the shift — from Excel-based planning to real-time digital scheduling, from manual Dimona filing to automated compliance, from reactive staffing to a connected workforce model. The sessions are case-led and specific. No abstract strategy. No consultant slides.

You’ll leave with a clearer picture of where your operation sits relative to where the market is going, and a concrete list of things worth changing.
