GSK layoffs test new Walloon outplacement regime; Federgon urges cooperation

The GSK restructuring in Wallonia is the first major case under the region's new outplacement rules effective July 1, which allow earlier activation of support and private accredited operators alongside Forem and unions. Federgon, the private employment services federation, calls for public-private collaboration rather than rivalry. The outcome will signal how the reform functions in practice and may influence future restructuring processes in Belgium.
