Through their partnership with Personify Health, Wawa has embedded wellbeing and DEI into the essence of their company culture with our collection of resources, journeys, coaching, and wellbeing platform.
Together, we’ve achieved impressive results:
- 23% lower employee attrition rate of Personify Health users
- 65% of high-risk, inactive members are more active since joining the p
- $108 average incentive earned by Personify Health members
Wellbeing as a Strategic Differentiator
With a core value of doing the right thing, Wawa knew that caring for their people’s mental and physical wellbeing was mission-critical.
They not only see wellbeing as something that motivates people, brings them together, and helps them accomplish their goals but also as a strategic differentiator that makes Wawa a great place to work.
Beth Finkle, Wellbeing Leader at Wawa, recognizes that understanding employees beyond their job titles is essential in fostering a culture of inclusion, leading to belonging. She notes, “we need people to feel well in order for them to be more inclusive.”
With the help of Personify Health and our team of client success managers, Wawa’s wellbeing and DEI strategies are no longer separate silos, but rather integrated solutions working in sync toward the same organizational goals.
