Eneco Blend in Safety

Our challenge

“How to get Eneco’s employees talking about safety and their management’s role in this?” 

For organizations like Eneco, safety is and always should be one of the most important topics of conversation. Although the (technical) operational side of their organization already pays a lot of attention to safety, the puzzle remains incomplete if managers, more physically removed from the workplace, fail to give it the same level of attention. Their choices directly or indirectly have a significant impact on the level of working safety experienced by their mechanics.

The approach

Ever heard of a digital escape room? We’ve built several in our Fresh Game Studio! We decided to also create an escape room for Eneco. 

During the game, a team is instructed to safely connect three windmills. They are given one hour to complete the task. But failure comes at a price! Before starting the game, each participant is asked to give up his or her mobile phone. (The phone represents something personal players would prefer not to lose.) It just so happens to also be the biggest attention and concentration disruptor, both of which are incredibly relevant to working safely.

All team members’ phones are subsequently placed in one of the three blenders present. Security incidents during the game trigger one of the blenders to switch on (suddenly making working safely feel a lot more relevant). 

The result

The escape room we created was launched during Eneco’s leadership day and was played by 25 groups simultaneously! The game was an amazingly effective kick-off to restart the conversation about the role managers play in working safety at Eneco.

Below is a video to give you an impression of the escape room and player experiences.
