Subsidy ‘voucher homework plan’ can now be applied for

Even after corona, we work from home more often. But how do you, as a company, arrange that as soon as we return to the normal work rhythm? An external consultant can draw up a homework plan for companies such as yours. The Province of Overijssel has created a special voucher scheme for this purpose. In this article we give you answers to the most important questions. More information can be found on the website of the Province of Overijssel.
