Integrated Support from Work-Life-Career Perspective:

Why Well-Being is Needed Now

Abstract

This paper discusses the shift toward “human capital management” in the modern workplace and the importance of integrated employee support for life and career based on Well-Being.

Traditional occupational health programs have focused on treatment, early detection, and prevention of employee issues within the framework of labor safety and health laws. However, there is now a need for diverse support models that respect employees’ varied values and career paths while promoting their growth and development.

Well-being requires good interpersonal relationships based on trust. The paper examines cases of middle-aged regular employees experiencing psychological stress due to reassignment, mandatory retirement from managerial roles, or downsizing during organizational change. Rather than imposing reskilling unilaterally, support providers are encouraged to engage in empathetic dialogue and foster collaboration among stakeholders.

A research study of 50s confirmed that career interviewing is effective in improving employee autonomy and Well-Being.
