In 2014, one third of employees in the public service sector had to deal with violence and aggression. The government will continue efforts to reduce aggression and violence against public servants, as Minister Plasterk of the Interior stated.

While working in public tasks, suffering from aggression and violence is not just annoying for these employees. “It provides a significant cost for society,” says Plasterk.

Victims of aggression and violence are more prone to health problems, fail more often, and are less satisfied with their work and working conditions.

The healthcare sector is where most employees have to deal with aggression and violence. More than 45 percent of employees in this industry had to deeal with agression from other people in 2014.

The Inspectorate SZW notes that psychosocial workload, which also covers aggression and violence, is high on the agenda of issues to deal with. During inspections in 2014, the inspectorate found 79 percent of hospitals in violation in regards to their approach towards aggression and violence.

The Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment launched the campaign “Be clear about workplace aggression.” Employers can make all kinds of campaign material and various tools can be used to make employees aware that aggression and violence in the workplace is unacceptable.

Linda is a big mind. She thinks about things that the rest normally overlook. The insight she has about the dutch job market can only be achieved through years of experience and persistence.

Her business savvy is complemented by her mastery of understanding the client's needs and requirements. For my career I could say, she was the “Mary Poppins”, who guided me through thick and thin and helped me to land a career in the Netherlands
