KORTE OMSCHRIJVING

Should we do away with HR?

I must agree that there is good reason for HR's beleaguered situation. It is often ineffective, incompetent and costly.

But the truth is, HR has never been more necessary! The competitive forces that managers and organisations face today and will continue to confront in the future, demand organisational and human excellence.

              KORTE OMSCHRIJVING

              This course is intended to provide a reliable and equitable standard legal platform for the global export - import trade.

              Practise has shown that companies and businesses involved in international trade mainly use commercial agency and distributorship contracts to distribute their products or services abroad.

                                            KORTE OMSCHRIJVING
                                            In the European Union social security belongs to the competence of the Member States. This means that there are now 27 different social security systems. The task of the European Union is mainly to coordinate these systems in the light of the free movement of persons (hard law). Moreover the EU tries to reach common objectives for social protection and social inclusion with the open method of coordination (OMC) (soft law).
