There is a growing white collar workforce and more and more employees are falling ill due to unhealthy workloads. An increasingly borderless work life creates difficulties for individuals to set limits on the working day. What one person experiences as an advantage, can feel stressful for another.

“Balansguiden” is a web tool designed to help individuals to get control of their situation. To create an awareness of how their work day looks like and support the individual to formulate the potential problems. The guide can also be used as a basis for joint discussions at work.

“Balansguiden” was published in September 2015, and it is well used. One user comment: "Balansguiden asks important questions and invites one to reflect on oneself as well as with others".

In order to enable that actions really are taken to improve the work conditions, the “Balansguiden” will be further developed into a group tool for the manager to use. The result (the group tool) is planned to be published in April 2016.
