Building future work ability – this is how we can manage careers together
Working life is changing and our work ability services at Ilmarinen are improving along with it. Our goal is to achieve longer, better and more careers in Finland through effective collaboration with your company.
How do we build future work ability?
- Careers are extended when work supports work ability.
- Careers improve when work ability is part of socially responsible management of your company.
- Supporting work ability according to individual need creates more careers.
Longer careers
The age when people are eligible for old-age pension is increasing birth year by birth year. This means that employees must continue working longer and, consequently, workplaces will have more employees over the age of 60 in the future. To make this possible, you should acknowledge the risks that may pose a threat to your employees’ ability to work. This means recognizing the impact that the business has on work ability. When you identify and manage risks that threaten work ability, you ensure that no one’s health is endangered at work.
In practice, we use the data we collect to create a work ability risk overview of your company, which you can use to compare your company’s data with the rest of the business sector. The number of disability benefits granted tells us about the risks associated with your employees’ work ability. Personnel surveys available free of charge to our customers provide us with information on your employees’ work ability risks and the results of your work ability management. You can use our self-assessment and survey tools to assess the maturity of your work ability management model intended for managing work ability risks.
Better careers
An increasing number of companies are struggling to employ sufficient and skilled personnel. Without them, not very many businesses would even exist. In addition to work ability, extending careers will require that work supports the employees’ health and their motivation to continue working. This is why companies need to specify how responsible personnel policy can ensure sufficient work ability and number of employees needed to maintain business operations. The key to this is how to “walk the talk”, i.e. the noble principles expressed in public are implemented in day-to-day management and how a company ensures that the desired objectives are also achieved.
In practice, this means that we use your company’s public information sources and documents provided by you to determine the significance of employees for your company’s success. We also examine whether the operating methods you have created to achieve the set objectives are working in practice from the perspective of work ability management. A key element is how the instructions and existing models are applied in your supervisors’ activities and how your operations are developed on the basis of impact monitoring.
Work ability management is actually caring about people, companies and society. We help you identify your work ability risks, address the root causes of problems with the right measures and develop work in collaboration with your employees. This is how we can achieve longer, better and more careers together.
More careers
As the Finnish working population decreases in size and the dependency ratio increases, it must be possible for people with various types of work ability to continue working safely. This requires cooperation with your work ability network, which at the very least includes the pension insurance company as well as occupational health services and the accident insurance company. Each member of the network offers their expertise and solutions to achieve your company’s goals.
In practice, we create a collaboration plan that is based on the personnel objectives supporting your company’s business operations. We also take into consideration the work ability risks identified in the work ability overview. Even effective measures often do not produce results unless the foundation is in good condition. The objectives of work ability management must support the company’s strategic goals, which also motivates top management to commit to collaboration. When selecting the measures, we focus on the root causes of problems. In particular, the solutions focus on developing the work processes so that your employees are closely involved in the whole process: from needs assessment to planning and implementing the measures as well as evaluating the results.
