Sustainable employability training
A sustainable employability training helps managers and employees stay healthy, engaged, motivated and productive at work. At MEPD, the training consists of a half-day workshop, an employability scan and a personal advice session, in-company or at one of our locations. We have been working for the manufacturing and technology sector since 1992.
An ageing population and a shrinking labour market call for a new, future-focused HR policy. Employers play a big part in this by offering room to learn and grow and by encouraging a healthy lifestyle. That way, employees keep developing, adapt to change and keep working longer. Building a sustainable workforce only works when employer and employees take it on together. In an employability workshop or course, we put these themes on the table and work on them together.
What exactly is sustainable employability? In short, it is about keeping employees healthy, engaged, motivated and productive. Read more in our article what is sustainable employability.

What is the goal of the sustainable employability training?
In a sustainable HR policy, it makes sense to let employees work on their own employability. That is why the sustainable employability workshop focuses on awareness and a sense of urgency.
Our approach consists of workshops, advice sessions, training and employability coaching.
How the sustainable employability training works
Workshop with the employees
We exchange ideas about sustainable employability. What is it, and why does it matter for your company and your employees? Using preselected questions, statements and short videos, we start the conversation together.
Employability scan
After the workshop, each employee completes the sustainable employability scan. The scan gives insight into their personal work ability and shows where action is useful.
Personal advice session
In a one-to-one session, we explain the results of the employability scan. Together, we discuss which steps help to increase employability on the points that came out of the scan. The employee receives a written summary with recommendations and personal advice.
Advice report for HR
We combine the responses from the workshop anonymously into an advice report. You can use this report when developing your sustainable employability policy.

Tailor-made employability training for the manufacturing industry
MEPD was founded in 1992 as Metalektro Personeelsdiensten, on the initiative of employer and employee organisations in the technology sector. Since then, we have been working for companies in manufacturing and technology. We know the people, the work and the changes in this sector.
We bring that experience to every training. For Van Leeuwen Buizen, for example, we developed a tailor-made workshop after several conversations and delivered it together with their HR department.
