The Professional Reference Letter of Recommendation is a crucial document in the Belgian professional landscape, used when individuals seek new employment opportunities, academic admissions, or professional advancement. It must comply with Belgian legal requirements, including the Privacy Act of 30 July 2018, GDPR, and anti-discrimination laws. The document typically includes verifiable information about the subject's employment history, performance, skills, and professional conduct. These letters are particularly important in Belgium's multilingual business environment, where formal documentation of professional relationships carries significant weight. The reference letter should be written on company letterhead when possible, include specific dates of employment, and provide concrete examples of the individual's contributions while maintaining appropriate privacy and data protection standards.
