In this short video, Sam Rayner, Anna Van Bracht, Legal Director, and Jonathan Steinvoort, Junior Associate, in the Netherlands Employment team, discuss the differing ways companies are defining a “four-day working week” and explore some of the key legal issues we’re seeing when navigating this new and evolving area.
