What does work ability mean?
When talking about the maintenance and support of work ability, it is examined broadly and can be illustrated with the help of the Work Ability House.
Work ability is based on health and functional capacity, but it is also influenced by the individual’s competence, values, attitudes and motivation as well as the work community and working conditions. Good leadership ensures that there is a balance between the demands of the work and the resources of the employee. In addition, work ability is affected by the employee’s family and immediate social environment as well as external factors, such as attitudes and laws.
What is work ability management?
Work ability management is an important part of daily management. It includes both proactive and return-to-work support measures that
