The Challenge
Lyon Waugh Auto Group operates across multiple dealership locations in
the greater Boston area. Like many automotive businesses, their teams
are fast-moving, physically demanding, and historically underserved by
traditional corporate wellness programs. Leadership recognized that a
disengaged, stressed workforce would ultimately impact customer
experience — and retention.
Teams spread across dealership
locations with no central hub for
wellness programming.
Sales and service staff with
limited time for lengthy wellness
activities or check-ins.
No visibility into employee
wellbeing, stress levels, or
physical health trends.
No existing programs or peer
habits around fitness, mental
health, or recognition.
The Solution
The Journey
Lyon Waugh didn’t flip a switch — they built momentum. Each year on Woliba brought new participation milestones, deeper program adoption, and measurable wellbeing improvement.
55% of employees activated and began earning points in their first year. Fitness activities and challenges drove early adoption, with 489 challenge participations. The team explored the platform and began establishing habits, earning nearly 2 million total points as a company.
Active users grew 21% to 67% of the workforce. Challenge participation more than doubled to 1,137 entries, and event attendance increased 250% (from 6 to 21). The Health & Wellness Assessment completion reached 34%, giving leadership their first real window into employee health trends.
By early 2026, 99% of the workforce (95 of 96 employees) had earned points — in just five months. Event attendance skyrocketed with 72 events attended and 364 on-demand videos watched. Health & Wellness Assessment completion jumped to 48%, a 41% relative increase over 2025.

WHY IT WORKED
Lyon Waugh’s success wasn’t accidental. It was the result of choosing programming that matched how automotive professionals actually live and work — and building momentum through consistent, low-friction opportunities to engage.
Fitness activities drove early adoption with nearly 1.8M fitness points in Year 1 — meeting employees where their existing habits were.
Challenges resonated with the competitive nature of a sales workforce. Participation grew 168% from Year 1 to Year 3.
364 on-demand videos watched in just 5 months of 2026 — up from 68 in all of 2024.
Peer recognition points contributed to a culture shift — employees noticing and celebrating each other’s efforts across locations.
“Woliba has helped us build a more intentional and engaging wellness program by giving us insight into what truly resonates with our team. We’ve seen participation grow and employees become more connected to their wellbeing.”
