Work & MORE for migrant workers in the Netherlands

At Feel Flex, we say "Work & MORE" – and we truly mean that more.

More guidance, more focus on well-being, and more fair opportunities for everyone who comes here to work. Especially for the many EU labour migrants who keep our economy running.

Recently, an important national step was taken: Minister Van Hijum signed a covenant to improve support for labour migrants. And it happened right in our own backyard – here in Veghel! As Feel Flex, rooted in Veghel, we’re proud that initiatives like this are being launched in our region.

Why is this so important?
Because labour migrants are indispensable. They work incredibly hard in sectors that rely on their efforts – from logistics to production, from engineering to transport. But too often, they don’t receive the guidance, information or support they need to truly settle in the Netherlands.

A contract is one thing. But what if you don’t know how the healthcare system works? Where your child can go to school? What your rights are? That uncertainty isn’t something anyone should face.

At Feel Flex, we believe that work only truly works when it’s part of a good life. That means: clear information, proper housing, fair conditions, and real attention to the person behind the job.

Our parent company, People 21, is also actively involved in this topic. One of the staffing labels recently joined other partners at an information and job fair in Rotterdam. Not just any event – but an integrated approach focused on more than just employment. Housing, healthcare, language, childcare, and legal rights were all on the agenda. An approach we fully support – and one we at Feel Flex are committed to backing. 💪

We’re proud to be affiliated with the NBBU, which supports this covenant. And we’re eager to take even more action – together with municipalities, fellow staffing agencies, and social partners.

Because let’s face it: it’s time we stop seeing labour migrants only as workers – and start seeing them as people. People with ambitions, with concerns, with families, and with dreams.

🧡 At Feel Flex, we believe in work – but always with added value. That’s Work & MORE.
