Demographic consulting Digi Plus

The project "Demography Consultancy Digi+" is dedicated to the below-average participation of older workers in the labour market, which is particularly pronounced in Austria compared to the EU. The aim of the project is to create an age-appropriate working environment by supporting companies, company representatives, works councils and employees in developing resilience in the context of demographic and digital change. In particular, the aim is to maintain the ability of older employees to work and to sustainably strengthen their employment opportunities. Digitisation is an important lever for enabling life-stage-oriented work and creating jobs that are independent of age. The modular company consultancy operates along the five fields of action: work design, leadership and culture, human resources management, knowledge and competences and health. The consulting is individually adapted to the challenges of the company, whereby standardized tools and, depending on the challenge in the company, also consulting stands from demographic consultants and / or Digi experts are used. The focus is also on the sustainability of consulting through a 6-month action plan followed by reflection on the initiated processes. The target output indicator is 930 consulted companies, 604 of them with an agreed result. In addition, a gender quota of 50% of women was defined, who must be directly involved in the implementation consultation (module 3). In addition to the ESF+ cross-cutting objectives (non-discrimination, equality and environmental sustainability), the cross-cutting topics of participation and awareness (for demographic change, digitalisation, age stereotypes and discrimination) are consistently taken into account across all advisory modules. Active outreach completes the offer and contributes to raising awareness of the above-mentioned topics.
