What Unisoc does

Unisoc vzw/ASBL is a Belgian non-profit employers' umbrella organization founded in 2011, headquartered at Kunstlaan 27 in Brussels (enterprise number 0454.285.048). It represents and advocates for employers in Belgium's social profit sector, which spans hospitals and healthcare institutions, family and elderly care, special youth and disability care, sheltered workshops (maatwerkbedrijven), the sociocultural sector, education, and social welfare organizations. The federation represents approximately 763,494 workers and 866,521 volunteers, accounting for 18.34% of total Belgian employment, and operates as the recognized social partner in Joint Committee 337 and in national bodies including the National Labour Council (NAR), Central Economic Council (CRB), and Supreme Council for Prevention and Protection at Work (HRPBW).

Its core service offering is non-technological: expert information and advisory on labour law, social security law, occupational well-being, and economic/fiscal and European regulatory matters, delivered through a member-only intranet, newsletter, information sessions, and training. There is no proprietary software product or technology platform. Unisoc operates with approximately 13 staff, including a Director, legal and economic advisors, a project collaborator, and administrative support.

The business model is membership-based: affiliated regional and sectoral employer federations pay annual subscription fees structured on organization size, ranging from €250/year (1–5 workers) to €1,000/year (>1,000 workers). Its go-to-market is community-led, with member federations VERSO (Flanders), UNIPSO (Wallonia), BRUXEO (Brussels), and AnikoS (German-speaking Community) acting as the primary distribution layer to social profit employers, supplemented by SGI Europe at the EU level and ad hoc collaboration with the interprofessional Federation of Belgian Enterprises (VBO/FEB).
