## Resource

New research from the Netherlands reveals that extreme heat is crippling worker productivity, with 85% of employees struggling as temperatures climb and over a third unable to complete tasks. The issue spans both outdoor and indoor jobs, prompting employers’ group AWVN to push for smarter, cost-effective heat management strategies—like flexible breaks and cooling systems—without resorting to pay hikes. As heatwaves become more frequent, AWVN is looking to global models for solutions that protect workers and maintain economic output in a warming world.
