UMC Utrecht

In the cardiology department of UMC Utrecht, 44 employees work and we mainly treat patients with heart disease, such as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, arrhythmias, heart inflammation or heart failure. Some of the patients come for screening for a heart transplant, a heart valve replacement, heart examinations or an ablation. We are dealing with motivated employees who, of course, keep track of their technical knowledge. Our employees are facing many changes in their working environment. This includes organisational changes, increasing demands from medical colleagues, patients and associated family members, influx of younger colleagues with a different involvement in the work, etc. It is striking that employees do not or hardly invest in increasing the non-directly professional competences such as working together under pressure, communication, mental resilience and power of change. With this project we want to change and work on strengthening the learning culture within the department. The UMC wants employees to actively work on their careers, health and employability. We expect employees to continue to develop widely, to be able to respond to new themes in change and to be aware and remain aware of their labour market position. The starting point is that employees take responsibility and facilitate the UMC where that is possible.
