Inclusion Criteria

Supervisors; we included supervisors that followed the ‘Mentorwijs’ training and supervise vulnerable employees at the workplace. Supervisors were invited to participate in this study by governmental organizations throughout the Netherlands that offer the ‘Mentorwijs’ training.

Employees; we included employees with a work disability that are guided by a supervisor at the workplace that is also included in this study (intervention group). Employees were invited to participate in this study by their supervisors that are also included in this study and by their occupational rehabilitation officers (i.e. job coaches). We will match employees with a work disability that are guided by a supervisor who did not follow the ‘Mentorwijs’ training (control group) to our intervention group. Employees will be identified in administrative data from Statistics Netherlands and matched to employees of the intervention group.

Trainers; we included trainers of the ‘Mentorwijs’ training. Trainers were invited to participate in this study by organizations that offer the ‘Mentorwijs’ training.
