Digitalization, automation and globalization are changing the world of work. It is being reshaped by lifelong learning, the need for flexibility and a growing skills shortage. Inclusion, social protection and sustainable labor market integration are also gaining in significance. These trends are impacting both the labor market and our social security system. Staff leasing providers are at the heart of these developments, as they act as an interface between employers and employees.
