job retention and return to work
The EU is facing a substantial challenge in achieving the targets set by the Council of Ministers in relation to reducing the numbers of older people leaving work through early retirement and extending the working life of older workers (Barcelona& Stockholm European Councils). The targets are set to be achieved by 2010. In order to achieve these targets, the proportion of workers in the 45-60 age range taking early retirement as a result of ill-health and disability must be radically reduced. The project 'Integrated e-learning for managing job retention and return to work' aims at developing tools to upgrade the skills and competences of employers on how to prevent employees at risk of disability to lose their work. The project consortium is made up of 5 organisations:
On top of the Reintegrate official partners, six rehabilitation centres will be involved in the project under the supervision of EPR to collect feedback from employers on the developed tools. These centres, including 5 EPR members are the following:
The project started on 1 November 2007 and it is due to end in 31 October 2009.
The rehabilitation centres have already undertaken their first tasks, which consisted in providing their own views via interviews on the specific skills and knowledge in disability management that the future tools should address. The project partners are currently reviewing the centres feedback in order to make a first draft of the tools content which will be discussed with all partners during a project meeting on 14-15 of April in Athens.
