AB  - We describe how idiosyncratic deals (I-deals), in this case I-deals focused on 
      workers' employability enhancement, can serve as a powerful strategic HR tool for 
      simultaneously meeting both the strategic goals of employers and the career goals 
      of employees. Building on a sustainable career perspective, I-deals are 
      interpreted as highly valuable, as they can help individual employees to more 
      easily adapt to the fast-changing environments that nowadays characterize society 
      and the labor market. After theoretical outlines on the concepts of I-deals and 
      employability, we argue that I-deals can form the basis for integrative 
      employment relationships aimed at employability enhancement. This article 
      concludes with concrete recommendations for practice, indicating that in order to 
      enable the sound use of I-deals as a strategic HR tool, organizations should 
      discuss I-deals and employability openly through constructive dialogue. Moreover, 
      examples for achieving this through specific practices, such as working with 
      employability coaches and world cafes on employability, are described.
