Penarie: serious game to encourage safe working in small SMEs

The challenge

A healthy and safe work environment reduces the risk of absenteeism and boosts productivity. This goes beyond implementing physical and tangible safety measures. The mental well-being of employees is also essential. Young SMEs in particular still pay insufficient attention to risk reduction in the workplace. With the card game Penarie, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment and New Future Lab want to give SMEs a real wake-up call. A card game that encourages thought and action.

Our solution

The Penarie card game helps with the question: what is the biggest risk in your company? Is it that team members often carry on working when they are tired or the lack of a FAFS officer? You see people really get a moment to think and a conversation starts. Risks seem small, until the moment you are too late. It is therefore important to give adequate attention to a healthy and safe work environment. With a potty Penarie every month or quarter, you can quickly discover which risks your team considers most important. It makes people feel heard, and it's fun, too.
