Work ability coaching
A work ability coach can help when an employee’s ability to continue in their current role is at risk due to health reasons or other reasons affecting their work ability, or due to the termination of the employment relationship. They can provide concrete information on the vocational options available, practical assistance for handling matters related to returning to work, and information on income and other matters related to social security. Work ability coaches always take a broad view when they work with an employee to explore opportunities to continue at work, with the aim of creating a long-term solution that supports the employee’s career, as well as a plan for how to move forward. The service can also be provided by means of remote appointments.
