Advocaat Wout Van Doren heeft bijgedragen aan het Voka Wijzer-rapport, gericht op het rekruteren van talent van buiten de Europese Unie, in samenwerking met Accent, SD Worx, VDAB en Voka.
Het rapport gaat in op de kansen en uitdagingen van het aantrekken van werknemers van buiten de EU die zich in België, en specifiek in Vlaanderen, willen vestigen. Het rapport licht het proces van de gecombineerde vergunning toe. Deze geïntegreerde procedure, waarbij werk-en verblijfsvergunning in één aanvraag worden gevat, versimpelt administratieve lasten en bevordert een efficiënter traject voor internationaal talent.
Deze ontwikkeling is van cruciaal belang voor bedrijven die hun talentenpool willen uitbreiden en die diverse expertise naar de regio willen brengen. Daarnaast vergroot dit initiatief het vermogen van bedrijven in België om op wereldschaal te concurreren door toptalent uit de hele wereld aan te trekken.

In collaboration with Accent, SD Worx, VDAB and Voka, Senior Associate Wout Van Doren contributed to the Voka Wijzer report focused on recruiting talent from outside the European Union.
The report delves into the opportunities and challenges of attracting non-EU workers willing to move to Belgium, specifically the Flanders region. The report highlights the streamlined process of the single permit procedure which combines the work and residence permit into a single application. This integrated approach simplifies the administrative burden and fosters a more efficient pathway for non-EU talent to join the Belgian workforce.
This development is crucial for companies looking to expand their talent pool and bring diverse expertise into the region. This initiative enhances the ability of businesses in Belgium to compete on a global scale by attracting top talent from around the world.
