261 General discussion interprofessional collaboration, either by including the topic of interprofessional collaboration in the education of professionals or by making agreements on how to facilitate collaboration. ‘Mentorwijs’ is an important intervention, as supervisors need to be trained on how to guide workers at the workplace to enhance the sustainable employability and to ensure a safe and supportive work environment for workers in a vulnerable position. For this, organizations need organizational policies in which supervisors are enabled to follow this kind of trainings, and to ensure supervisors can apply what they have learned in trainings. Based on the results of this thesis we can also recommend some additions to ‘Mentorwijs’. For instance, an important topic is to inform supervisors about the importance of sustainable employability, and how to stimulate workers to make use of preventive support of OHPs and of preventive interventions. Another topic is to train supervisors on how and when they can put workers into contact with an OHP, how they can talk with workers about their sustainable employability, and how to deal with problems outside the workplace. This kind of topics can be addressed either by occupational health services, OHPs themselves, or municipalities. Conclusions Workers in a vulnerable position are more often facing problems on multiple life domains, and therefore have more difficulties to remain sustainably employed. This underlines the need for preventive support in the workplace from both OHPs and supervisors. Interventions at the workplace, such as Grip on Health or ‘Mentorwijs’ can provide this type of support. However, OHPs and supervisors are part of a larger system of the labor market, and for OHPs and supervisors to adequately support workers they also need a supportive environment that enables them to provide this support. Moreover, this thesis also showed that workers in a vulnerable position need support that goes beyond the work environment. Hence, to improve the health and sustainable employability of workers in a vulnerable position a joint effort of stakeholders from different domains is needed. 8
