Deciding with the help of data analysis at SZW
The Dutch Social Affairs and Employment Inspectorate (Inspectie SZW) was created in 2012 by the merger of the Dutch Labor Inspectorate, the Work and Income Inspectorate and the Social Intelligence and Investigation Service. It is the supervisor in the policy areas of Working Conditions, Labor Market, Labor Relations and Social Security in the Netherlands. As a supervisor, Inspectorate SZW conducts inspections at businesses, such as restaurants and construction sites. In addition, this government body also conducts investigation and enforcement, for example in the area of benefit fraud. This work is carried out on the basis of risk and environmental analyses.
