One year a little more vacation days and the other a little less

With the arrival of the new collective labor agreement, KPN employees have more freedom and autonomy to take their vacation days. They no longer have to register their vacation days. This initiative, agreed upon together with the unions in the collective labor agreement 2024-2025, offers employees more autonomy and flexibility, which fits in perfectly with KPN's HR policy: full of energy and pleasure at work.

Bart Webers, Director Rewards KPN: We give our colleagues more freedom to decide for themselves how to deal with their vacation leave. The reason for this is that we consider well-being and a healthy work-life balance important. This also requires fewer rules and more autonomy. This naturally goes hand in hand with the responsibility of colleagues for the KPN objectives and the interests of our customers”. This arrangement does not entail unlimited leave. KPN uses a guideline of 27 vacation days. With this initiative, this could mean a few more vacation days one year and a few less the next.

KPN is leading the way with this measure and this initiative fits in well with other innovative employment conditions, such as the attractive repayment of your student debt, forty cents net per kilometer allowance for those who come to work by bike, or a contribution to insulating and making your home more sustainable. KPN thus offers benefits in its collective labor agreement for every generation, appropriate to their phase of life.
