Not sure if it already happened, but they're moving towards having the (previous) company pay for the non-compete period. Meaning: if you hire someone on a non-compete and the person cannot find work in another field (or lower salary) the previous company has to make the employee "whole".
Non-competes are also meant to not be applied to everyone. Only certain employees should have these. This as having every employee on a non-compete is too restrictive for the employees.
All of this is/was mentioned on various Dutch sites. It's a bit weird it's not explained on this English one.
