Employers will also have to be more flexible, the UWV notes. “An example: I know someone who is already at home after he just got a new job. His boss was happy with him, and vice versa, he liked the work. However, he does not function well with many people around him, so he can feel not concentrate. The only thing his boss should have facilitated is a separate room for him. But he didn’t want that: everyone works in an open-plan office here, so do you. That rigid attitude is outdated.”
