Long-term employability of the employee. Shared responsibility
Long-term employability of the employee. General provision Parties to the collective labour agreement emphasise the importance of the employee’s sustainable employability. Society is constantly changing, the wishes and needs of companies and consumers are changing and the labour market is changing. Employees are faced with organisational changes, change jobs more often and work longer. Both employers and employees have an obligation to be actively involved in sustainable employability. All this requires flexibility of employees in terms of knowledge, skills and competencies, time investment of employees and investment by employers in continuous training and development of employees. At the same time, employees need more autonomy and control over the content of their work. Because of these developments, both companies and employees must be able to do their work in a vital, competent, committed and enjoyable way. Attention to developing policy with regard to sustainable employability within companies is therefore of great importance and a matter for both the employer and employee. Making agreements about this policy is a subject that will be shaped by local consultation in the companies. Shared responsibility
