Dutch Companies Initiate Widespread Workforce Reorganisations

Dutch companies are accelerating reorganisations and layoffs as of early 2026, with UWV receiving 355 reorganisation notices by year-end and major firms like Heineken and ASML announcing cuts (Heineken 5,000–6,000 jobs; ASML about 1,700). Economists attribute moves primarily to cost-cutting and shareholder pressure rather than direct AI displacement, implying short-term job losses amid still-tight hiring in some sectors.
