Tiivistelmä
The aim of this project-based thesis is to educate adult employees in self-regulation methods via a series of six online videos. The project was planned for 58 workers from the Forcit Group, a company operating in the chemical industry. The idea for the thesis arose from the company’s wish to develop the mental well-being of their employees. Overall, 10 employees participated in this Corporate Social Work pilot project, in the beginning of the year 2022. All the participants were working in the company’s own factory in Vihtavuori.
The thesis shows the implementation and evaluation of the videos. The participants were asked to watch a series of six 10-minute educational video about self-regulation, every Monday, for a time period of six weeks. After each video, participants were asked to fill in a Microsoft Forms Questionnaire that was designed to evaluate the usefulness of the online course and the successfulness of teaching self-regulation skills to the employees.
The outcome of the project seems promising as the vast majority of participants report to have learned something new from the video course. Also, the usefulness of the taught topics was rated high amongst the employees. Nevertheless, participation was low, and strategies must be developed to reach out to more employees in projects like this.
