Stimulating job mobility is one of the main focal points of Enschede municipality. Nynke S\u00f6nmez is constantly working to match the talents and wishes of workers with permanent or temporary vacancies. Underlying goal is to keep people mobile: this increases the organization\u2019s flexibility and enables it to optimally match jobs and co-workers.<\/p>\n
The first plans to stimulate job mobility within the organization were formulated in 2009. Because of enduring budget cuts and hiring freezes in the public sector, job mobility has become even more important. The Enschede municipality has linked job mobility to the recruitment and selection process. These efforts are supported by the solutions of Connexys.<\/p>\n
On the intranet site of the HR department of the Enschede municipality, co-workers can voluntarily register for job mobility. The registration form allows them to provide their personal information and preferences. Based on this information (salary, function type, etcetera), the system will try to find a match with available vacancies. Vacancies that match for at least 60% with the wishes and demands are automatically shared with the co-worker through a periodical job alert that allows the person in question to apply immediately. Co-workers can edit their preferences at any time.<\/p>\n
An intake meeting is scheduled with every co-worker who registers for the first time. In that meeting the registration is analyzed and the possible next steps, like career coaching, are discussed. Nynke:\u00a0\u2018We feel that co-workers themselves are responsible for their own career, but we do try to optimally facilitate their job mobility with a personal approach and with our job mobility registration option. And luckily, our co-workers really appreciate this approach.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n All the information about co-workers, such as meeting reports and assessment results, is stored in a personal file in the system at a central location that can only be accessed by the career coach and the co-worker.<\/p>\n Enschede municipality selected Connexys\u2019 job mobility solution to professionalize the processes at the career centre. The solution helps to achieve the following goals:<\/p>\n Nynke expects close collaboration with other organizations to become increasingly important in the effort to keep people mobile.
