How to use the tool:
The Checklist from Chrodis Plus Workbox Toolkit serves as a form for mapping current means and for planning future actions at the workplace and as an idea generator. It collects concrete, evidence-based, and practically proven means through which workplaces can support the wellbeing and health, and enhance the work participation of all employees, regardless of their work ability and health status. The person who fills the checklist can decide if the proposed mean is already in use in the company, not yet in use, but potentially beneficial and feasible for the company or selected for implementation in the company. It also gives space for own ideas.
