Abstract

The police is an organization with 65,000 employees. The largest employer in the Netherlands. A lot was and is being asked of the police. People are faced with a lot, both physically and mentally. The NPB notices that after the corona period, many people need extra support and are less vital. Mental or psychological vulnerability has increased. 5 to 10% of employees are dealing with long covid. Absenteeism due to illness has increased, many police officers are walking on their toes and are at risk or have retired. Within this program we are committed to 45 police employees who mainly work from home or hybrid. We focus on strengthening the mental vitality that needs extra support as a result of the corona epidemic. The coaching will take place by registered Noloc career professionals who also have an employment expert background. Customized interventions are the basis of the program and focus on strengthening mental vitality.
