Energi Viborg is committed to promoting well-being within their organization and collaborates closely with Woba to achieve this goal.
“We prioritize well-being at Energi Viborg,” says Dorte Danielsen, Executive Secretary/HR at Energi Viborg.
Together with Kira, their Customer Success Manager from Woba, we have explored how Energi Viborg has adapted the Woba platform to develop their own approach to well-being work with the aim of increasing response rates and enhancing employee well-being using Woba.
At Energi Viborg, they used to conduct well-being surveys every other week, asking 5 questions based on the WHO-5 well-being index. However, they faced a challenge as the response rate had dropped below 50%. There was a need for a system that could delve deeper into work-related well-being.
Through collaboration between management, union representatives, and occupational health and safety representatives, it was decided that they needed a system where they could formulate their own questions, customize them for departments, and allow for comments to be added to each question. This led them to choose Woba, which met their needs.
“Everything aligned perfectly with our desire to prioritize well-being and not just rely on an annual well-being survey,” Dorte says about the choice of Woba.
With Woba, Energi Viborg now conducts quarterly well-being surveys that include 10-12 general questions that are the same for the entire organization but change from time to time. There is also an opportunity to add 2-3 department-specific questions, developed collaboratively by managers, union representatives, occupational health and safety representatives, HR, and an industrial psychologist.
“The industrial psychologist is a permanent part of the team; he reviews the reports with the respective department, provides input, and supports in addressing any challenges. He also formulates the standard questions, which, however, are approved by the management team before distribution,” Dorte explains.
In this way, they are using Woba in a new way, where the focus is not on cross-survey comparisons, but rather on individual departments. After each survey, a follow-up meeting is held for each department, facilitated by the industrial psychologist, where they work to delve into the issues that may have arisen in the Woba report.
Based on the results and well-being meetings, the organization has implemented several initiatives with the aim of promoting well-being. In addition to well-being work, Energi Viborg’s goal is also to strengthen their ability to address any challenges and problems by addressing them. With the help of Woba, they have managed to focus on and identify key areas for improvement.
“With Woba, we have achieved good results in our well-being work, as it has shed light on areas we can work on. The response rate has increased significantly, and we have improved our ability to address challenges and bring them to light. Woba has helped us identify crucial areas for improvement and has aided in our ongoing focus on well-being,” says Dorte.
As a result, Energi Viborg has also seen an increase in the response rate. On average, it is now at 87.5%, and on several individual surveys, it exceeds 100%. With the close collaboration and a strong focus on well-being, there is no doubt: Well-being is crucial for Energi Viborg and benefits both the company and its employees.

Merkur Cooperative Bank, Denmark’s leading values-based financial institution, has enhanced diversity and well-being in the workplace with the assistance of Woba.io. Discover how Merkur utilized Woba’s platform and guidance to achieve impressive results in the work environment.
Merkur Cooperative Bank has a central goal: to create a workplace characterized by diversity, inclusivity, and equality. They aimed to establish an attractive workplace that could attract new talents while fostering happier and more engaged employees. Employees were to feel that everyone is treated fairly, irrespective of gender, age, ethnic background, sexual orientation, or other differences. Simultaneously, it was crucial for them that diversity and inclusion initiatives were not merely a management focus but were also palpable throughout the organization.
Merkur Cooperative Bank implemented Woba’s platform for their annual well-being assessments and mandatory workplace assessments (APV). With Woba, they acquired the right tools to measure and gain direct insights from employees to understand the diversity in the work environment.
Merkur was particularly pleased with the opportunity to combine quantitative and qualitative insights in their surveys. This not only provided an overall picture of general well-being but also allowed for a deeper understanding by analyzing comments from individual employees.
Lastly, Woba made it easy for them to translate all the collected feedback from employees into concrete action plans in areas where improvement was needed, both at the organizational and departmental levels.
“The platform is intuitive and easy to handle. I have especially been very pleased with the automatic presentation and risk map,” says Katrine Rosengren Norup, HR Manager at Merkur Cooperative Bank.
Companies now know well that when they invest DKK 1 in the working environment, they get DKK 2 back. Despite this fact, no tools have yet been able to measure this effect.
“Woba, on the other hand, gives us access to a comprehensive risk assessment system and thus a long-awaited real-time overview of our customers’ known and unknown risks within the working environment. This helps us to assist with the best possible preventive advice based on current data insights. The Woba system also helps our customers to measure the effect of their implemented action plans on, for example, the level of well-being and sickness absence. In this way, our customers gain new and very concrete knowledge of where their risk areas are, what they should do about them and the effect of their time and efforts”
Lars Christensen, Managing Director Willis Towers Watson DK.
Willis Towers Watson (WTW) was founded in 1828 and is today a world-leading global advisory and brokerage firm. WTW is driven by a central vision to help their customers identify risks, so that the company can best prevent human losses and at the same time get the best conditions for creating growth and success. In other words – WTW helps clients around the world turn risk into business growth.
In June 2018, WTW first contacted Woba. WTW was looking for a digital tool that could give their customers the opportunity to measure the temperature of their risks in the working environment and at the same time give WTW access to a digital overview of their customers’ risk areas. After many months of negotiation, WTW and Woba suddenly found the key and common thread between the two businesses – and it was the statutory Workplace Assessment (APV) that cracked the code:
“In English, APV is called ‘Health & Safety Risk Assessment’, and it actually describes much better what it is about – namely a risk assessment of companies’ health and safety status. It also paints a much clearer picture of the APV’s real meaning and how WTW can use Woba’s APV as a risk management tool where they can help their customers prevent the loss of key employees before the damage happens‘
says Woba’s CEO, Malene Madsen.
In January 2020, WTW and Woba established a co-branding collaboration. WTW chose to buy a license for Woba’s complete APV system, so that in future they can offer their customers a service that enables them to meet the Norwegian Working Environment Authority’s legal requirements for the APV in an easy and efficient way. The strategic collaboration between WTW and Woba was launched on 9 December and is already live in the Danish companies. Søren Egens Petersen talks here about the importance of the solution for their customers today:
“A high level of employee well-being is one of the most important success criteria in any company, and therefore it is absolutely crucial that the management has a good overview of the areas in the company where there is a particular need to make an effort to eliminate dissatisfaction . With Woba, the company not only gets the overview, but also concrete recommendations for what can be done to increase well-being”.
says well-being expert Søren Egens Petersen from Corporate Health at Willis Towers Watson.
