    The war for talent: about the fire, the conundrum and the pool

    Where employees used to have to fight for a job, companies are now fighting for workers, the witticism says. In his lecture, Professor Baert objectifies this fierce war for talent or labour shortage. He proves that this is now effectively raging more fiercely than in the past and more amongst us than elsewhere, warning that we are on the verge of going from a record number of vacancies to a record number of missed opportunities. He then analyses two underlying problems: the conundrum between available job seekers and vacancies does not correlate and the pool from which employers have to fish is too small due to the high level of inactivity in our country. Professor Baert concludes with a few solutions directed at policy. Depending on the number of hours planned for preparation, he can (to a limited extent) tailor this keynote to the audience present.

    Challenges for our Flemish and Belgian labour market

    In this keynote, Professor Baert proceeds from his metaphor of the iceberg on our Flemish and Belgian labour market. In pursuit of the central ambition in almost all coalition agreements, i.e. to increase the employment rate, the policy focuses on activating a visible peak of job seekers. A much larger labour reserve below the waterline is forgotten: those who are inactive. However, there are many more of them and that is what makes our country different from other countries in this respect. Professor Baert then situates the most current challenges and the solutions he advocates within that metaphor.
