Common use of CLA Clause in Contracts

CLA. Rabobank is a special bank, which operates in a dynamic market. The HR vision and the HR policy are derived from the organizational strategy. The fact that Rabobank has its own Collective Labor Agreement (CLA) enables the employer and employees to ensure that the terms of employment dovetail optimally with the nature of the bank and the needs of employees and managers. The Rabobank CLA 2021-2022 came into being through a cooperative process and can therefore be called a collective CLA. The parties involved explored themes together and obtained input from employees during the preparatory phase. This was done using walk-in sessions, focus groups, interviews and a survey in which employees were asked to state which terms and conditions of employment are important to them. All the information and input gathered were used for the negotiations. Employees were informed about the process through various channels during the negotiation phase and, where possible, asked for additional input. This CLA was thus laid down in collaboration with the various stakeholders.
