Integrated KNOWledge & coaching service to support people with cancer in How to remain in Or return to Work.

Programme 2014 - 2020 INTERREG V-A France - Belgium - The Netherlands - United Kingdom (Les Deux Mers / Two seas / Twee Zeeën)

Date of latest update: 2024-12-17

Description

Description (EN): To improve the employability of people with cancer by co-creating and implementing new innovative and sustainable services for employers, employees, (para)medical professionals and job coaches to enable people with cancer to remain or return to work.

Achievements (EN):

Overall, I-KNOW-HOW has demonstrated the added value of combining 3 perspectives (employee, health care professional, employer) in order to facilitate the return to work journey. The project revealed a significant gap, there were no clear guidelines on the topic of facilitating return to work for employees, health care professionals and SME employers. It delivered a comprehensive roadmap with hands-on information and tools. In addition, training sessions for health care professionals and job coaches and SME employers were created. I-KNOW-HOW products have already been applied in a number of different organisations, such as a hospital (Centre Oscar Lambret in FR), Therapy Centre (Sarah Lee Trust in UK), volunteer organisation (RVA in UK), and a payroll service for SME (Securex in Belgium); in the Netherlands, the information service tool has been shared with a wide audience. In Belgium and France and the Netherlands, the interactive roadmap with toolbox linked to it has been spread in the area by means of a specific website. In the UK, the gained knowledge has been spread by the workforce of Sara Lee Trust who have direct contact with cancer patients.The roadmap, toolbox and trainings are the result of extensive cocreation processes between the end-users and key partner organisations. A generic roadmap has been developed over the 4 Member States. The social innovative aspect of I-KNOW-HOW was to bring together the three perspectives of employees, health care professionals and SME employers. Throughout the project, it became clear that the most effective approach was to depart from a common framework, the roadmap and to integrate all concrete tips & tricks and sharing of stories departing from this journey. This integrated approach facilitated effective communication and understanding among stakeholders. While the end results from the work packages all refer to that same roadmap, as the cross-regional outcome of this project, each partner implemented it in its own way and targeted specific audiences that were most relevant for their ecosystem.

Delivered Outputs (EN):

I-KNOW-HOW focused on piloting a set of three new services with focus on remaining or returning to work for employees with cancer. The perspectives of employees, employers, (para-)medical teams and job coaches were interconnected. The project also tackled the current lack of standard practice within companies through the development of a coaching service for employers. This was supported through the development of a toolbox providing a ‘service blueprint’ to create pro-active, structural HR policies to deal with employees with cancer in order to avoid brain drain. This was accompanied by optimised job-coaching models, an interactive information tool and more. The main projects outputs are: ● The production and piloting of an interactive information service. This was an innovative, user-friendly information service for people with cancer, employers, (para)medical professionals and job coaches. ● The piloting and production of an optimised job coaching service. This was a toolbox which was spread and implemented across the 2 Seas area, accompanied by training of health professionals and job coaches. ● A training programme for employability coaches in all four 2 Seas Member States. ● A toolbox for employers to implement a sustainable policy to deal with employees with cancer. ● A training programme for HR professionals and managers. This provides them with the necessary skills and attitudes in order to create a welcoming environment for people who have been diagnosed with cancer at the workplace, facilitating a more inclusive workforce. The training addresses employees with cancer in particular, but also useful in order to guide employees with other chronic illnesses.
