Kern van de disclosure

This disclosure asks an organisation to explain whether it has programmes that help employees build new skills or move into different work, and whether it provides support for people whose jobs are changing or ending. The focus is on the practical arrangements in place, not just a policy statement: what the programmes are, who can use them, and what kind of help they provide.

In practice, the reporting should show the breadth of coverage across the organisation. That means clarifying whether these programmes apply only in certain locations, business units or employee groups, or whether they are available more widely across operations. If coverage is uneven, it is useful to explain where the gaps are and why they exist.

Voorbereiding

Hoe u dit voorbereidt

Set the reporting boundary first: decide which workforce groups, locations, and time period the disclosure will cover, and make sure that choice is applied consistently across both parts of the item.
Define the two content buckets in plain terms: one for skills-upgrading support given to employees, and one for help offered when people are leaving work or moving toward retirement, so the reporting team uses the same interpretation throughout.
Gather the underlying records for each bucket: programme descriptions, participant lists or counts, dates, delivery notes, and any internal approvals or policy documents that show the support was actually provided.
Compile the disclosure in the format you will publish: for the first part, state the kind of support and how broad it was; for the second, describe the transition support and how it helped people remain employable or manage the end of employment.
Record any exclusions, scope changes, or one-off adjustments clearly, including what was left out and why, so a reviewer can see how the final figures or narrative were built.
Check the draft against the official source and your evidence pack line by line, confirming that the wording, scope, and supporting material match the underlying requirement before sign-off.

De gegevens opvragen

Request the learning and exit-support evidence

Vertaal de disclosure naar een interne bedrijfsvraag — en pas die daarna aan op het taalgebruik van uw organisatie.

What people-development and exit-support arrangements did we run in the period, and what proof do we have for them?

Use your organisation’s own labels first, then map them to the disclosure. For example, you may talk about learning, capability building, redeployment support, retirement support, or leaver support rather than using framework terms in the request.

Zwak verzoek

Please send anything you have for GRI 404-2 on employee skills programmes and transition assistance.

Waarom dit misgaat: It uses framework language only, gives no boundary or period, and does not tell the owner what records to pull or how to describe them in the organisation’s own terms.

Beter verzoek

Please send the [period] evidence for our learning, capability-building, redeployment, retirement, and leaver-support activity in [business area]. Include the programme names you use internally, who was covered, how it was delivered, the source record, and any exclusions or changes. I’ll map it for reporting and check the official source before sign-off.

- the source documents or system extracts that show what was delivered
- any notes on exclusions, exceptions, or changes during the period

If possible, please include the period covered, the business area, and the owner for each item.

Veelvoorkomende hiaten in de rapportage

The information is presented without a date or as-at point.
The scope or boundary of the statement is left undefined.
Key terms are used inconsistently across the report.
Material changes since the previous period are not disclosed.
Assertions are made without supporting detail or a source record.
Boilerplate is used that does not actually answer what is asked.

Veelvoorkomende hiaten

Fouten om te vermijden bij het verzamelen van gegevens

Wrong ownerThe request goes to HR or L&D in framework language, but the real source sits with the teams that run training, redeployment, retirement support, or exit support.
Scope left vagueNo one agrees whether the data covers the whole organisation, only certain sites, or just selected employee groups, so the final pull is not comparable.
Period basis mixed upOne team reports by calendar year while another uses the financial year or a rolling period, which makes the combined dataset inconsistent.

Waar vaak een professionele afweging nodig is

What counts as a skills-upgrade programmeDecide whether to include only structured learning offered by the organisation or also coaching, mentoring, job rotation and similar support, then explain the rule you used and keep it consistent across sites.
Which people sit inside the reporting boundarySet out whether you include permanent staff only or also fixed-term, part-time, agency and other workers where they are part of your people model, and disclose any exclusions or separate treatment.
How to handle businesses added or sold during the yearUse a clear cut-off for acquisitions and disposals, explain whether you include activity only from the date control changed, and note any material boundary shifts that affect comparability.

Illustratieve voorbeelden

Synthetisch, geschreven door LRA — niet afkomstig uit een bedrijfsrapport en geen tekst uit een standaard.

Illustrative (synthetic) example — Manufacturing

We ran a mix of in-role learning and formal development support for 420 employees, covering technical refreshers, digital tools, and supervisory skills; 315 people took part, and 210 completed more than one activity. We also offered career-end support to 38 colleagues whose employment ended through retirement or redundancy, including guidance on next steps, CV help, and access to external advice; 29 used at least one service, and 12 joined a follow-up session after leaving.

This example shows how to describe both capability-building support for current staff and practical help for people leaving the business, using plain language and internally consistent figures.

Illustrative (synthetic) example — Healthcare services

Our group provided learning support to 260 staff through classroom sessions, coaching, and funded qualifications aimed at clinical, digital, and people-management skills; 198 employees used the offer, and 144 completed two or more elements. For colleagues whose roles ended because of retirement or organisational change, we provided transition help such as retirement planning, job-search guidance, and signposting to outside services; 41 people were eligible, 33 accepted support, and 9 attended a post-exit check-in.

This example combines upskilling activity with transition assistance for leavers, while keeping the wording distinct from the source and the numbers mathematically consistent.

A manufacturer ran two in-year initiatives: a digital-skills course for 48 production staff and a mentoring scheme for 12 supervisors moving into team-lead roles. The draft note currently says only that the business 'supports development'.

VWhat should the preparer check before finalising the narrative so it properly describes the training activity?
Modelantwoord tonen →

A services firm offered outplacement workshops, CV clinics and interview coaching to 19 employees whose roles ended after a restructuring. The draft disclosure mentions the restructuring but leaves out the support offered after employment ended.

VHow should the preparer decide whether this belongs in the disclosure and how it should be framed?
Modelantwoord tonen →

A retailer provided a six-month retraining pathway for 30 store workers, but only 18 completed it before year-end. The draft text says '30 employees completed retraining'.

VWhat is the correct way to handle the numbers and wording in the narrative?
Modelantwoord tonen →

A group has a career-ending support package for employees leaving at retirement, but it is only available to staff in one country and only when a manager refers them. The draft disclosure says the group has a 'global transition programme'.
