Contents: Digital or analogue workshop material and 35 psychosocial resource and workload factors.

• For whom? 
  For a team or work community that wants to develop well-being at work and their own practices. The workshop may be led by a supervisor, team leader, project manager or HR. In the digital game participants must have a computer or smartphone at their disposal. 
• Benefits? 
  You recognise what burdens your team or gives your team resources in everyday work. You will strengthen the commitment of team members when everyone can participate in the development process. 

• A digital game guides the team to prioritize the most important resources and most significant workload factors at work. The most important of these is selected.  
• To form a shared view, the game makes it easy to vote on matters and take notes of the discussion. The game guides you forward, and a summary report is generated automatically.
• The recommended number of participants is 6 to 8 per workshop. If the team is significantly larger, it should be divided into smaller groups.  
• As a result, you will prepare a concrete action plan for one resource or workload factor.  
• Choose the digital workshop 
  • when you want to utilise a digital game to engage the team. 
  • when every participant has a computer or smartphone at their disposal. 
  • when the workshop can be implemented regardless of location remotely, face-to-face or in a hybrid manner.
