Career and development. The personal and professional development of the employee is essential: how can he remain a valuable asset for the organization, how can he keep enjoying his work, and how can he retain and improve his value in the labor market? These are important issues not only for employees personally but for the organization as well. Employees develop as their current position develops and also develop towards their next employment position, doing so during their entire career. The organization facilitates development and movement and together with the employee will look to the future. It’s not without obligation: the employee explicitly bears his own measure of responsibility for development and for taking the opportunities presented. In this section, we will look at the context within which the organization and the employee must continually focus on development and we will look at the facilities that the organization offers the employee to help him with these efforts.

Shared responsibility Employability is in the interests of both employer and employee. This makes working on an employee’s employability a shared responsibility. The employee takes the initiative and invests in his own development. The manager discusses an employee’s options for the future - both within and outside the organisation - with him. He then facilitates the resulting plans. Organisational change As far as possible, employees will be informed about future developments in the organisation and about the consequences of this for personnel, via the provision of information to the Works Council about collective developments. Job requirements and employee’s qualities Employability starts by finding a good match between the employee’s experience and capabilities and the tasks given to him. The manager and employee are jointly responsible for this matching-up. They will jointly take the initiative to find a suitable solution (either within or outside the Rabobank organisation) if the job requirements and workload do not match the employee’s capabilities.
