The document discusses the strategic importance of sustainable employability in Belgium. It notes that sustainable employability is an area where HR, individuals, and the government have common interests. However, progress has been slow, and discussions are sometimes counterproductive as different stakeholders have differing views. HR can play a crucial role by creating the right conditions for motivation, engagement, competence and health to ensure people are able and willing to perform sustainably over the long term. While some progress has been made, more is still needed to address challenges like scarce talent, low mobility and training participation, and increasing health issues.
