Fit, healthy and ready for the future
Sustainable employability that works
Do you want your employees to stay healthy, engaged, and ready for change? Then a future-focused approach to employability is essential.
With the right combination of awareness, insight, and practical support, employees are better able to take ownership of their development and well-being. Depending on your organization’s needs, this may include workshops, a sustainable employability scan, personal coaching, and training for managers.
Step by step, this helps build a more resilient workforce and a stronger organization. Want to know more?
Creating awareness and encouraging action
During the workshop, managers and employees explore what sustainable employability means in practice. What is sustainable employability? Why does it matter to both employees and employers?
The workshop can be followed by a round-table discussion with employees. Together, we create awareness that sustainable employability is a shared responsibility: the employer creates the right conditions, while the employee takes an active role in their own development and well-being.
Employees remain sustainably employable when they continue to learn, adapt, and develop. This benefits both the individual and the organization.
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.
