Background: Welfare Technology (WT) can contribute to occupational justice. The implementation of WT products and services therefore needs to be promoted in order to benefit end-users.
Objective: To evaluate an interactive showroom of WT.
Material and method: Municipal employees (n=217) filled in a questionnaire before and after they visited an interactive showroom of WT - an occupational therapist-led group intervention
Findings: The number of participants confirming WT’s potential to contribute to municipal operation areas increased in seven out of eight areas after their visits (p<0.05). A statistically significant increase was also found regarding knowledge of and confidence in WT, and its potential value. Fifty-six percent indicated they had no plan for a follow-up after their visit.
Conclusion: A visit to the interactive showroom increased the perceived knowledge and appreciated value of WT. The perception of the possibility of implementing WT in various municipal operation areas also increased, which may contribute to the pursuit of occupational justice.
