\u201cDo you think attention to vitality in the working environment is important?\u201d Yes of course! Can you imagine that just ten years ago this question would be answered very differently by the average entrepreneur?<\/strong><\/p>\r\n

Most HR managers had to fight very hard to put vitality on the agenda for senior management \u2013 if they even considered it a priority at all. What an interesting (and beautiful!) development to see that employers are now even putting their attention to vitality in the spotlight in order to win over customers and potential employees. It is a trend that is also called 'visible vitality'. Where does this change come from and what can you do with it as an employer?<\/p>\r\n

Vitality is increasingly on the map<\/h3>\r\n

Good care for the employee partly started as an obligation. The law prescribed rules that protected workers. This meant, among other things, a safe working environment and continued payment in the event of absence. Arranging a good absenteeism policy was therefore often on the agenda, but the usefulness and necessity of prevention was not always recognized.<\/p>\r\n

Some things have now changed. Health became increasingly higher on the political agenda. Diseases of affluence made their appearance and had to be tackled. Employers saw an increase in absenteeism and had to look for smarter solutions. Current staff shortages mean that health has become an even higher priority; labor is scarce, so making better use of the available workforce requires less absenteeism and increased productivity. Sustainable employability in its pure form!<\/p>\r\n

Employee attitudes towards work have also changed. While income used to be by far the most important focus, job seekers are now increasingly paying attention to secondary employment conditions. Instead of just bread on the table, it is themes such as development, meaning, team activities and \u2013 yes \u2013 vitality that attract and bind employees. These interests start from an early age. Current primary school students are now much more aware of what affects their health than we used to be.<\/p>\r\n

From obligation to free choice<\/h3>\r\n

Companies like Google picked up on these developments early on. Instead of purely following the guidelines in collective labor agreements, employers started to see vitality as extra added value. A way to distinguish yourself from other employers. As part of the identity and profiling towards job seekers and customers. An employer that is good for its own employees must be a great company. And if you don't take care of your own people, how can you take good care of your customers?<\/p>\r\n

Themes such as vitality, sustainable employability and job satisfaction are therefore increasingly predominant. You can see this in, for example:<\/p>\r\n
