Definition Employability. Description.
Employability is the extent to which an employee possesses,
uses and presents marketable skills, knowledge and attitudes, which are in
demand in the context within he/she seeks work. It's the capability to self-sufficiently
establish initial employment, maintain employment (making transitions between
jobs and roles within the same organization) and to obtain new employment
if required.
The employability concept can be seen as the successor of
the job for life concept. Employers can not provide lifetime work guarantees
anymore, so they now offer training and
Employee Development opportunities
to their employees in return for their commitment and effort.
Employers should help key groups of staff to develop both
those assets which have explicit, immediate value to the organization as well
as those transferable ones which have a wider, longer term currency, thereby
engendering a sense of security, encouraging commitment, risk-taking and flexibility
among employees.
For the employee the need is to boost those aspects of his/her employability
which will most enhance his/her opportunities in the light of his/her circumstances.
