Bridging between Corporate Social Responsibility and Psychosocial Health in Organizations: a Guide 2.0 for increasing employability

Abstract

Nowadays, there are few companies that can ensure the continuation of its employees in the medium and long term. However, one thing that most of them can offer is something to overcome, in part, the uncertainty that the job insecurity situation provokes: employability. The offer of this employability is included in what the scientific literature are calling «healthy practices» which in an applied context has often become to be called «Corporate Social Responsibility-CSR practices». This paper aims to present some of the strategies, or healthy-CSR practices, that the company can perform to increase that employability and, thus, improve the psychosocial health of the employee. To do this, we first describe some key concepts as «healthy-CSR practices» and «employability»; we later show some possible theoretical explanations (from the psychological point of view) of why they do protect the employee psychosocial health. Then, we describe a novel methodology (NLP and coaching), in what we called «Guide 2.0 on employability», which optimizes employees resources to make them more employable, to continue with the description of specific techniques that increase employability in the company, focused on the employee. We will finish with some reflections on the applicability and appropriateness of these strategies at this moment.
