New pension agreement: which changes apply to you?
3 March 2021 - In September 2019, the government, employee and employer organizations reached an agreement on renewing the pension system in the Netherlands. This agreement in principle was converted into a final pension agreement in the summer of 2020. The draft legislative texts will be presented in a final bill in the House of Representatives after the completion of the consultation process. If they adopt this bill, the consequence will be that in the coming years (almost) all pension schemes in the Netherlands will have to be adjusted. What does this mean for your company?

Never waste a good crisis
25 February 2021 - That a crisis can offer opportunities we have seen in previous crises.

OSINT-benchmark Sportbonden
19 februari 2021 – In een artikel over cybercriminaliteit onder de titel “Geef Hackers geen podiumplaats” riep het NOC*NSF haar leden en alle aan de sport verwante organisaties eind vorig jaar op alert te zijn voor cybercriminelen. Er worden meer en meer incidenten gemeld. Duidelijk is dat de cybercriminelen zich niet alleen meer richten op de grote wereldwijde evenementen, maar dat ook de lokale infrastructuur de aandacht van deze criminelen heeft. Een datalek kan leiden tot imagoschade en verstrekkende financiële gevolgen hebben, zowel voor de eigen organisatie als voor de bij de sportbonden betrokken organisaties (sponsoren, partners, etc.). Wees daarom bewust van de digitale footprint die uw organisatie achterlaat.
