Use your screens to inform and encourage during the COVID-19 crisis

Nudging practices have been applied to executing new policies, such as requiring citizens to opt-out of organ donation, rather than opt-in. The purpose of nudging is to guide our behavior by tweaking physical surroundings.

If you have the option to display messages and imagery on the screens around your workplace, you can use nudging to make a difference. In addition to encouraging safe behavior, screens can be used to send encouraging messages to the people keeping factories, warehouses, shops and medical services running.

We are not experts in health and safety and encourage you to utilize the instructions available from sources like the World Health Organization. We want as many people as possible to be reminded of the necessary precautions, and the screens installed around workspaces and public areas are a vehicle for conveying essential information.
