Summer time! Mpact colleagues and public transport enthusiasts Jasmien and Caroline took a ride on the longest tram line in the world: the coast tram at the Belgian coast! 🚊 The tram ride De Panne - Knokke covers 67 km and takes 2h30min to complete. Though a pit stop in Oostende is warmly recommended ☕ 👩‍🦽 Accessibility: There is still a lot of work to be done for accessibility, but stops with accessible platforms are dotted along the whole coast. The old trams have been replaced with accessible, low-floor varieties 👏 There is an arrow with the direction present at every stop, so new users never board a tram in the wrong direction! 🚂 Mobility hubs: Several of the stops form a hub with the local train stations: De Panne, Oostende, Blankenberge, Knokke. There are a few other hubs in between, e.g. in Nieuwpoort, where you can switch from tram to bus, shared car, shared bike… 🚧 Technicalities: the tram is unidirectional (which creates a prime seating area with a view in the back) and needs to be turned on a loop or ‘triangle’. The tram line requires an extra high quality ‘sand sucker’ to keep the beach and the dunes out of the rails 😁 🎉 Fun facts: The current model tram is called “zeelijner” (“sea liner”, a nod to “ocean liner”). When the first part of the tram line was installed in 1885 it was still a steam tram! 😱 Next time you’re in Belgium and you're looking to fill half a day, you know what to do! 🏖️ #publictransport #mobility #belgium

Feeling lost in the sea of recruitment advice? 😱 You're not alone.        Our Talent Trends 2024 report "The Expectation Gap" cuts through the noise and reveals the biggest challenges companies are facing in attracting and retaining top talent.   Did you know?   • 30% of Belgian employees unhappy with their current salary are actively job hunting • 3 in 5 would decline a promotion to maintain a healthy work-life balance • Over 3 in 10 Belgian candidates are working in the office more than they were a year ago due to face-to-face meetings    These data points paint a clear picture: traditional recruitment strategies are no longer enough. Employees today prioritise work-life balance, autonomy, and well-being over just a hefty paycheck.     The good news? Our report equips you with the insights you need to design a winning attraction strategy in 2024.   Want to learn more about your workforce expectations?
