This risk trend is assessed as neutral. Attracting and retaining employees is critical to the VanDrie Group's success. Insufficient employees can result in labour shortages and significant production stoppages. There is a lot of competition in the labour market from other employers and there is a high dependence on agency workers from abroad. Fraud and illegality in the employment agency industry are still issues to this day. An increase in personnel costs (due to higher collective labour agreements, increases in minimum wages, higher pension contributions, turnover costs) is having a negative impact on operating results. In addition, more difficult working conditions in production sites (working in the cold, early starts) can lead to physical and mental discomfort among employees.
