Workers at risk of losing their jobs should be identified and provided with adequate support in order to avoid or reduce these risks.

Guideline code

PSE_01400

Mechanism

The employment “observatory” should monitor demand for employment and qualifications in order to identify at-risk workers.
The management should put in place targeted programmes to facilitate reintegration of workers belonging to at-risk groups, notably by supporting the development of new skills.
Given that it is more difficult to reintegrate at-risk jobseekers than to maintain at-risk workers in employment, it is important for the management to organize preventive programmes to support at-risk workers.
Skills and abilities should be identified and leveraged in order to find a sustainable approach that would facilitate long-term employment.
The management should ensure that the legal framework provides adequate measures of support for workers and their employers, and, if necessary, should make appropriate recommendations and propositions.

Structure

The management should ensure that at-risk workers are identified.
The management should develop support measures and ongoing training, not only for at-risk jobseekers but also for at-risk workers (career support), to match their motivation and career interest.
