Track 2 reintegration

When health requires a different path

Second Track (Track 2) reintegration can be a complex process for both the employer and the employee. It's good to know that in Thaeles, you find a partner ready to support both. For employers, we offer knowledge and assistance with everything that needs to be arranged, and for employees, a customized trajectory that is practical and future-oriented.

Track 2: a clear course for the employee and employer

The strength of our Track 2 approach? We pay attention to someone's story but do not dwell on the past. This means we set a clear course for a return to the job market. We believe in getting you moving and exploring what is possible. Therefore, our trajectories focus on making sustainable choices, working on positive energy, and building the confidence to take that new step.

In our Second Track trajectories, we also take into account the employer's interests. You can trust that we build a well-founded dossier during the trajectory. Of course, we keep you informed of the steps we take. You can rely on our commitment until the UWV decision on the WIA application.

How we increase the chances of success

Every candidate has their own story. To maximize the chances of success, we tailor a unique trajectory. This includes a mix of individual coaching and guidance, training, and mediation in four characteristic building blocks:

  • Processing, personal offering, and career direction
  • Labor market-ready
  • Active on the job market
  • Secondment, alternative work, and aftercare


Customized guidance is one thing, but what sets our trajectories apart is our network in Southeast Netherlands. Volunteer work, internships, or work experience can be important to regain work rhythm or discover what suits someone. From the local bakery to multinational corporations, we know where opportunities lie and actively seek them out.

Track 2 reintegration


Employer

As an employer, you are obligated to initiate a Second Track (Track 2) reintegration trajectory when an employee is unable to perform their current role due to limitations and there are no internal opportunities for another job. The purpose of this trajectory is to guide the employee towards new and suitable employment outside the organization, in accordance with the Work and Income Capacity Act (Wet Verbetering Poortwachter, WVP).

At Thaeles, Track 2 reintegration guidance is synonymous with an intensive trajectory, usually starting at the beginning of the second year of sickness absence. At the onset of the trajectory, ample attention is given to the employee's acceptance process and gaining insight into their own interests, talents, and motivations. The second phase of the trajectory focuses on active mediation for internships or secondments, acquiring or refining job application skills, and guidance in searching for and finding suitable job vacancies.

The execution of Track 2 reintegration is a shared responsibility. As an employer, you will receive periodic reports on the progress, ensuring that your WVP dossier is properly compiled and any WIA application is processed correctly.

Employee

When health problems and limitations prevent you from performing your current profession, and there is no other suitable position available within your current employer, you are obligated to undergo a Second Track (Track 2) reintegration trajectory. The purpose of this trajectory is to guide you, as an employee, toward new and suitable employment outside the organization.

At Thaeles, we have developed our own Track 2 reintegration guidance to provide maximum support during this process. Our approach includes an intensive coaching trajectory with special attention to the acceptance process, while simultaneously exploring new possibilities together with you. We collaborate to identify your strengths, interests, and motivations to develop a plan that leads to new and fitting work for you. This plan may include training, internships, and secondments, depending on what suits you best.

Because you may not have applied for jobs for some time, we ensure that your application materials, such as your CV and cover letters, are in order. We provide training and coaching to facilitate the application process for you. Additionally, we assist you in finding suitable job vacancies and mediate with potential employers.

In summary, we offer a comprehensive package to shape your Track 2 reintegration in a 'UWV-proof' manner, so you can make the most out of this situation.
