Giving voice to employees in low-skilled jobs works: Effect and process evaluation of a participatory sustainable employability intervention.
Article in Work (Reading, Mass.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundTo improve the sustainable employability (SE) of employees in low-skilled jobs, there is an urgent need to implement more effective approaches for this group.
objectiveThis evaluation study aimed to get insight into the effect and implementation process of an organisational intervention called 'Healthy HR' (HHR), which promoted the job control and SE of employees in low-skilled jobs in two Dutch organisations.
methodsAn effect evaluation with a pretest-posttest design and a mixed-methods process evaluation were conducted. Quantitative data were collected at baseline (N = 120) and at 12 months' follow-up (N = 71). Paired t-tests and dose-response analyses were performed (N = 50). Mixed-methods process data were collected on the implementation process using questionnaires, individual interviews with employees and employer representatives (N = 26), focus groups (N = 4) and logbooks.
resultsA positive effect was found for job control at 12 months' follow-up. An effect on the distal outcome SE was not significant. The dose-response analysis showed that a higher dose of HHR resulted in better job control. This positive effect was supported by the qualitative process analysis. HHR had a positive impact on the awareness level about health and healthy workplaces among all stakeholders.
conclusionsThis study showed a promising participatory approach to improve job control for employees in low-skilled jobs by actively involving them in a genuine dialogue and giving them an active voice. Effects on SE might require a longer follow-up.
