Labour participation of people living with CVD or DM

Individuals with non-communicable diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, may struggle to participate in society, especially in the labor market. The Joint Action CHRODIS+ collaborated with stakeholders in various countries to develop a Workbox on Employment and Chronic Conditions. This Workbox offers tools and suggestions to assess and enhance workplace inclusivity, prevent non-communicable diseases, promote employee health, wellbeing, and workability, support return to work after sick leave, and assist individuals with non-communicable diseases to remain at work. 

The pilot projects in this area aim to enable intersectoral actions by strengthening cooperation between the employment and health sectors, and promote the use of existing tools, such as the Workbox on Employment and Chronic Conditions.

Number of pilot projects: 15

Countries of implementation: Finland, Italy, Lithuania, Poland, Spain
