JCC/ JETRO / Briddge Legal & Finance Managing underperformance in the Netherlands: Practical guidance for Japanese businesses

We are pleased to invite you to the seminar in the afternoon (CEST) on Thursday, 24 September 2026 with full support from JETRO Amsterdam and Briddge Legal & Finance. In approximately 2 hours, Briddge Legal & Finance will provide the practical seminar Managing underperformance in the Netherlands: Practical guidance for Japanese businesses, offering actionable tools and culturally informed advice tailored to the needs of Japanese employers. Managing underperformance in the Netherlands requires a careful and structured approach. Unlike in Japan, Dutch employment law regulates unilateral employer action and, among other things, requires employers to actively support employees through improvement processes before dismissal can be considered. Failure to do so may result in legal risks and financial exposure. In practice, performance issues are often addressed too late or handled in ways that unintentionally escalate tensions – particularly in Japanese companies operating in a Dutch context, where differences in communication style, feedback culture, and workplace expectations can create additional challenges. This session focuses on what to do – and what to avoid – when dealing with underperformance, combining legal insights with practical guidance on communication, soft skills, and cultural considerations. Doors open at 14:30 at Events / THE 51: in Amsterdam Sloterdijk (Events | The 51), the seminar starts at 15:00 and will be followed by drinks and a chance to ask further questions. If you have any questions regarding this seminar, please feel free to contact the JCC office. We are looking forward to your participation in this seminar. Date and time: 15:00-17:30 (CET) on Thursday, 24 September 2026 * Doors open at 14:30 Place: Events / THE 51: (Address: Naritaweg 51, 1043 BP Amsterdam) Parking: ParkBee under Events / THE 51: Naritaweg 51. You can make a reservation online by the link Moby Park: Zaventemweg 3 (5 minutes walk from Events 51). You can make a reservation online by the link *Both car parks have limited availabilities, please book well in advance.

In recent years, the regulatory and practical landscape surrounding sustainability, cyber security, and the use of artificial intelligence has been evolving rapidly across Europe. For Japanese companies operating in Europe or engaging in business with European counterparties, it has become increasingly important to accurately understand these developments and to take appropriate and timely action.
