Good terms of employment are crucial: employees must be able to do their work in a healthy, vital and safe manner, with competitive wages. Attractive terms of employment help companies recruit competent and motivated employees. Plantum, together with other employer organisations, negotiates with the trade unions about the Collective Agreement for Greenhouse Horticulture and the Collective Agreement for Garden Seed Companies.
What you need to know
Five collective agreements have been concluded in the sector, with input from Plantum. Plantum also implements the BPL Pensioen pension scheme together with other employer organisations and trade unions.
Safe working conditions
How do you ensure safe working conditions? This is described in the occupational health and safety catalogues that have been developed for greenhouse horticulture and garden seed companies.
-
Job manuals
Job manuals, part of the Collective Agreement for Greenhouse Horticulture and the Collective Agreement for Garden Seed Companies, allow companies to classify their job positions into appropriate salary groups. This contributes to good pay ratios in the sector.
-
Sustainable employability
Projects in the field of sustainable employability are financed via the Colland Arbeidsmarkt collective agreement.
-
Learning in the sector
The seeds and young plants sector organises many trainings, workshops and courses that have a direct link with the field. You can view them here. [link to page]
