What is sustainable employability?

Perhaps you've heard of it. Sustainable Employability. It's a term that has become increasingly popular in recent years. But what exactly is "sustainable employability"?

Sustainable employability is about working at an organization as well, as vitally and with as much pleasure as possible. Whether that is your entire career with one employer or not. In all cases, both the employee and the employer will benefit from a good and pleasant working relationship and from the employee enjoying going to work. For both the employer and employee it is important that the employee is comfortable in his or her skin and healthy. This provides the best return in the long, but also in the short term.

But how do you deal with that?

The more vital an employee is, the more he will flourish. And that, of course, is again in the best interest of the organization. But how exactly do you deal with this as an employer? After all, don't you always want your employees to be happy, motivated and healthy?

Add value

Everyone knows it, annual evaluation conversations with employees. Every year a plan is drawn up in which the employee formulates his or her goals. This often results in a personal development plan. The goal, of course, is for the employee to grow, develop and further themselves.

But all too often it remains a nice but abstract plan. How do you then ensure that the employee continues to develop continuously. Sustainable employability is about assigning value to your employees. This is not just in the form of financial appreciation or a compliment when a success is achieved. You actually want to be able to apply this always and continuously. One way of doing this is by embracing sustainable employability within your organization.

How do I implement Sustainable Employability?

By viewing sustainable employability not as a separate project, but as an integral part of your business operations, you ensure that as an organization you get a grip on the vitality of your organization. This can be done, for example, by offering a vitality check. There are various programs offered by Johan.nl's network partners. These programs can be offered to your employees through the Johan.nl portal. In this way, your employees keep control over their own development and health, and you as an organization keep control over a vital and healthy company.

By deploying smart software, you make sustainable employability measurable. This is the only way to ensure that the range of programs and interventions is tailored to the individual. This will result in a match between the offer and the wishes of the employee. Research shows that these interventions are ultimately followed up and that employees are willing to make adjustments in their (private) lives. The ultimate goal is better health and vitality.
