Promotion of work ability and continuation of work careers among construction workers in eastern Finland - widening knowhow through modern education methods
The mean age of construction workers in eastern Finland is high, and a considerable number of professionally skilled workers will retire within the next 10 years. Companies need tools to help them manage data on workers knowhow, educational background, and additional training and monitor absences due to sickness. Companies are willing to invest in ensuring the availability of a workforce, developing knowhow and learning by doing, and promoting well-being at work. The aim of this study was to establish flexible and suitable models of operation which fit the needs of companies and with which it is possible to support long-term careers in construction. Six workshops were organized. The information from the workshops was tested in the companies participating in the workshops. The topics were put into practice as a written form of (i) a plan to promote the well-being for the company and the workers, (ii) a survey of the knowhow needed at the company and individual levels, (iii) a survey of the guidance needed in the companies, (iv) an assessment of the possibilities to advance knowhow and knowledge in occupational health care, (v) an assessment of the possibilities for and advancement of networking, and (vi) measurement of the aforementioned actions. Companies began to utilize this plan, which will be converted to an electronic form.
