Description

In this game, you are faced with a hostile work environment where your goal is to turn the environment around. You will have to consider the already rooted work culture and how your changes will affect their motivation and work-life balance.

A simulation developed by the SIW research project

This case-based simulation- and counseling game was developed as part of the SIW project (Socially Innovative Knowledge Work). The game was built on the research of this project where theory is combined with storytelling and general knowledge of research within the sphere of our psychosocial working environment. The game aims to prepare employees and leaders to handle some of the challenges that value-driven organizations face.

Three variants – this game is part of a set of three that all relate to knowledge workers:

1. The colleague, who is responsible for onboarding new short-term employed colleagues into the culture, the tasks, and the community.

2. The occupational health and safety representative, who helps secure a good working environment – both in terms of rules of conduct and the psychological working environment.

3. The leader, who maintains a focus on helping create a good balance between deliveries/performance, knowledge sharing, and innovation capacity.

Your own role depends on which of the three scenarios you choose.
