Intervention process design based on Nielsen and Abildgaard’s framework [22].

Stage Tasks Program design
Initiation Clarify roles of different actors; create a communication strategy First contact with companies through their HR managers
Screening Assess organizations’ needs; select measures on individual and organizational level Interviews with HR managers at the companies to recognize organization-specific needs and context; selection of suitable measures that complement existing assessment methods in the companies, with emphasis on measures focused on strengths and skills rather than problems and weaknesses
Action plans Clarify intervention activities, their purpose and timeline; select methods for evaluating success of actions App available on Web and mobile platforms; baseline survey conducted online; approximate intervention duration 3 months; kick-off events for employees held by researchers on-site and/or through online meetings; email and calendar invitations, intranet announcements and flyers at worksite; if possible, events aligned with other events/trainings in the company
Implementation Document intervention activities; assign person who makes intervention happen in the organization Regular contact with HR managers to keep track of the progress and activities inside the companies; mid-survey (online) to assess initial engagement and experiences among employees
Evaluation of effects Measure changes in health and well-being; measure changes in working conditions and organizational procedures Follow-up survey (online); analysis of changes in different well-being measures from baseline to follow-up; interviews with volunteer employees, superiors and HR managers
