Final conference of the project "Work Ability Management"

Závěrečná konference projektu "Work Ability Management"

The Final International Conference of the Project “Work Ability Management” was held in 2023 in the Czech Republic by Age Management, z.s. in collaboration with organizations from Germany, the Netherlands, Hungary, and Slovakia. Implemented at the international level, the project targets ageing employees, aiming to promote work ability as a comprehensive approach to health, employment, and lifelong learning to enable employees to balance work, personal, and family life. Key measures include the collection of examples from each participating country on measures to support ageing employees and compiling them into a publication. It also developed new methodologies for working capacity applicable to both employed and unemployed persons, focusing on those at risk of reduced working capacity and helping them find their way back to the labour market. These methodologies are designed to advance the promotion of work ability not only in the participating countries but also in other interested countries. The project results emphasize that understanding work ability can enhance labour market positions for both employed and unemployed individuals, while supporting preventive programs in physical and mental health and lifelong learning may positively influence retirement; additionally, the "Digital Coach" web platform, available in five languages, was developed to support these goals.
