Practical context ►

Work to work arrangements are mostly part of social plans which are concluded between employers and trade unions in case of mass redundancy.

This arrangements have usually a long duration

►

CWI and UWV may offer services ( including reintegration measures) to those employees whose unemployment spell will start over 4 months

►

The role of CWI and UWV is facilitating the arrangements and are not competing with private providers ( e.g outplacement agencies) which are contracted.
