| Fidelity of the intervention, measured as: 1. Adherence: proportion of program components that were delivered compared to the number prescribed in the intervention protocol. This will be assessed through a short questionnaire survey for the consultants after completing each intervention activity. 2. Exposure: number of sessions. This will be registered throughout the study period in the consultant’s intervention logs. 3. Quality of delivery measured by the following questions for the consultants after completing each intervention activity: 3.1. "Regarding today, to which extent have you contributed to… [To a very large extent (100)/to a large extent (100)/somewhat (50)/to a small extent (0)/to a very small extent (0)] ...the participants’ commitment and motivation? ..ensuring the employees’ participation in the activity? ..adapting the activity to the needs of the participants? ..maintaining the participants’ attention? 3.2. "Suppose that your performance, at its best, is equal to 10 points. How would you rate your performance today?" [0–10 (0 = not capable to perform; 10 = best performance) (0–4 were scored 0, 5–7 were scored 50, 8–10 were scored 100)] 4. Participant responsiveness, measured by the following question for the consultants after completing each intervention activity: "To which extent are the participants committed and motivated?

| 1. Feasibility of the intervention will be measured with questions based on the validated instrument Feasibility of Intervention measures (FIM) through questionnaires and semi-structured interviews with the participants during follow-up. 2. Participants’ acceptability of the intervention will be assessed using a validated questionnaire Acceptability of Intervention Measure (AIM), and semi-structured interviews of selected participants during follow-up. The interview guide will be based on the Theoretical Framework of Acceptability (TFA), which includes a generic TFA-based questionnaire. 3. Adaptation of the intervention documented using the FRAME-IS framework. Adaptations to the intervention will be assessed through the use of document analysis, focus groups with consultants and observations at participating workplaces. These data will be collected throughout the study period. | — |
