Document background
A Letter of Recommendation for Coworker is a crucial professional document used when a colleague seeks career advancement, new employment opportunities, or academic pursuits. Under Belgian law, such letters must be written with careful consideration of privacy regulations (GDPR and Belgian Privacy Act) and employment legislation. The document should provide honest, factual information about the working relationship, the recommended person's professional capabilities, achievements, and character traits. It serves as a formal testimony of professional competence and can significantly influence hiring decisions. The letter should be specific enough to be meaningful while avoiding any potentially discriminatory or defamatory content that could violate Belgian anti-discrimination laws. This document type is particularly valuable in Belgium's professional environment, where formal recommendations carry significant weight in career advancement.
