Focus Areas

Richardson Industries wanted to create a more connected workplace—one where employees felt appreciated, supported in their health goals, and part of a larger wellness culture. They also needed a solution that could simplify admin tasks, increase engagement, and help track progress toward reducing insurance costs.

With Woliba, they exceeded enrollment expectations, saw strong participation in wellness challenges, and gained access to health data that supports year-over-year risk tracking. Employees describe the platform as both educational and fun, while admins praise its ease of use and time-saving tools.

The Challenge

Before Woliba, Richardson Industries had no centralized system for wellness. They needed a platform that could bring people together across departments and shifts while making it easy to manage programming and measure impact.

Richardson wanted a wellness solution that could:

  • Encourage consistent daily activity habits

  • Create a sense of appreciation and connection

  • Offer fun, educational, and accessible wellness tools

  • Reduce healthcare costs through preventive strategies

  • Save time with simple reporting and real-time engagement tracking

To ensure long-term impact, they outlined clear SMART goals tied to enrollment, engagement, recognition, and cost savings:

  • Launch monthly wellness challenges to support behavior change

  • Reach 100% enrollment and HRA completion

  • Implement feedback and recognition tools to improve culture

  • Achieve a 5–10% reduction in healthcare premiums or claims

The Solution

Woliba offered Richardson a single, easy-to-use platform with everything they needed to build a habit-forming and culturally meaningful wellness program.

 Data-Driven Wellness Planning
Woliba’s Health Data Management (HDM) tool allows Richardson to monitor year-over-year health trends, risks, and engagement in an anonymized, aggregated format.

 Recognition and Appreciation Tools
The team is planning to roll out peer and manager recognition, tied to daily performance and engagement, to strengthen appreciation across departments.

 SMART Goal Tracking and Feedback
With surveys and performance-linked tools, Richardson is preparing to gather employee feedback and track progress on cultural initiatives.

Challenge Management and Habit Building
Admins can easily launch and monitor challenges that encourage movement and support long-term behavior change—all backed by Woliba’s built-in reporting tools.

The Impact

In just their first year on the platform, Richardson Industries saw meaningful progress across key engagement and wellness metrics:

  • Enrollment surged past 100% of initial seats, prompting a seat increase

  • Platform participation rose from 76% to 83% by Q1 2025

  • Average activities per user increased each quarter (Q2: 46 → Q4: 69)

  • Challenge participation held steady between 66–68%

  • Social feed activity emerged in Q1 2025, with the first 9 posts laying the foundation for deeper connection

Employees now log in regularly, explore wellness resources, and report using recipes and tips in their daily lives—both at work and at home.

What’s Next

With momentum building, Richardson Industries is focused on expanding their program’s impact in 2025:

  • Launch structured recognition and feedback tools by Q2

  • Sustain at least 75% participation in monthly wellness challenges

  • Reach 100% enrollment and HRA completion by October 1

  • Use health data to guide quarterly challenge themes and risk mitigation

  • Reduce insurance claims or premiums by 5–10% by end of 2025

Woliba is now a central part of how Richardson supports, connects, and engages its people.
