What this report reveals
for the first time.
Public data on flexible work arrives 1–2 years late, without sectoral granularity. This barometer publishes ground-level data, from real schedules, not declarations.
The real composition of teams: Students, employees, flexi-jobs, extras.
The plan vs. clocked gap: Who pays what compared to what was scheduled.
The Thursday–Friday absence peak: And what it means for your reinforcements.
Three regions: Brussels, Flanders, Wallonia compared on the same basis.
