The salary cost calculation nobody makes

Your salary costs will rise by 5 to 6 percent this year. Annoying, but manageable; you can absorb one year of higher costs. Right? That's precisely the problem: almost everyone looks one year ahead, while the real impact only becomes apparent with a multi-year calculation.

In his new column for De Ondernemer, co-founder Jildert Huitema uses the calculator. The result is sobering: a team that currently costs €650,000 per year will cost almost €870,000 in 2030, without hiring a single person. And that's not all: the workforce is shrinking, experienced employees are leaving at an accelerated pace, and the new generation of employees has different work demands.

But this isn't a doomsday scenario. That's why, in his article, Jildert shares three questions every entrepreneur should ask themselves to get a handle on this trend. From smart automation to investing in your current team. The business case is clear for those who act now instead of waiting.
