Fit, vital and competent
Sustainable Employability in the making
Do you want to keep employees vital, engaged, and employable? Then a future-oriented employability policy is essential.
With the right mix of awareness, insights, and practical tools, you (re)activate people. Think of workshops, an SE scan, personal coaching, and training sessions for managers. Always tailored to your organisation’s needs.
This way, you work step by step on sustainable employability and a stronger organisation. Want to know more?
Awareness to get moving
In the workshop, managers and employees exchange ideas about sustainable employability (SE). What is sustainable employability? Why is it important for both parties? Afterwards, a ‘round table discussion’ with employees follows. Here, we create awareness that SE is a shared responsibility: the employer facilitates and the employee takes action.
An employee is sustainably employable if they keep developing. This benefits all parties.
To keep up with future changes, it’s important that employees stay vital and competent. As an employer, you can encourage and practically support employees to take initiative themselves. Raising awareness is crucial in motivating employees to take action and foster different behaviour. By talking with employees, you lay a strong foundation for sustainable policies that have real support. Explain why sustainable employability is important and clearly show how you, as an employer, plan to concretely assist the employee. Conversations can work well in the form of a practical workshop. Here, you share information but also exchange thoughts on the wishes and needs among employees. MEPD has already developed several workshops together with employers, which provide a solid basis for taking further steps.
It helps to give employees insight into their own employability. How is their personal work capacity? There are various practical measuring tools that can help with this. A personal scan identifies which areas may benefit from action. A good understanding of the current state of their own employability strengthens the willingness to take concrete steps. For example, in lifestyle, managing work pressure, or focused personal development.
Sustainable employability policy is a long-term investment that strengthens your company. The use of structural tools to encourage employees and foster different behaviour is essential. Having suitable budgets available is crucial for this. For example, to specifically encourage career development and to invest in job satisfaction, engagement, and good working conditions. Regularly scheduling development conversations also keeps the subject on the agenda. What do you, as an employee, need to remain vital and competent, and how can I, as an employer, help you? All parties benefit from this.
