The Potentials of Digital Workplace Health Promotion
Abstract
:1. Introduction
2. Background and Hypotheses
3. Materials and Methods
3.1. First Survey: Wishes, Needs and Attitudes
- General questions about the digital representations of the organization inwardly and outwardly (website, employee portal) and their perception by the employees; the amount of digitalization in the daily work of the employees plus ratings of burden vs. chances; digital competences and wishes for training.
- DWHP: Rating of current (i.e., online booking of offers) and future offers (i.e., digital offers), comparison of WHP and DWHP; determinants and barriers of using DWHP; wishes regarding DWHP. Ideas for potentially interesting digital offers were derived from a prior project at the hospital [57].
- Demographics (age group, occupational group, working times, education).
- I have so many digital parts in my daily work that I do not want digital WHP offers. (agree/rather agree/neither-nor/rather disagree/disagree)
- How attractive would digital LIVE-offers of WHP be for you in the following areas? (e.g., dietary habits?) (very attractive/rather attractive/neither-nor/rather not attractive, not attractive)
3.2. Second Survey: Evaluation
4. Results
4.1. Demographics
4.2. Importance and Knowledge about DWHP
4.3. Personal Rating of (D)WHP
4.4. Use and Opportunity to Use
4.5. DWHP: Opportunities and Limitations
4.6. Further Wishes
- Timing aspects: The announcement of offers should start as early as possible (approx. 6 months in advance) and all working hours covered (including evenings). Short programs (15 min weekly) are welcomed.
- Offer design: offers should be repeated, and either provided online or at all locations of the hospital; physical activity offers should cover all fitness levels.
- Information: supervisors and managers should be required to communicate the (D)WHP offer and motivate employees to participate.
