Focus Areas

Increasing engagement, participation, and long-term wellness habits

Fishman Flooring Solutions set out to bring employees together while making wellness a daily priority. With Woliba, they gamified healthy habits, increased HRA participation, and strengthened team connection—all while creating an engaging experience that supports both employee wellbeing and long-term healthcare cost reduction.

The Challenge

After COVID-19 halted Fishman’s previous wellness efforts in 2021, the company was left without a structured program. Their former approach—gym reimbursements and incentives for annual wellness visits—lacked long-term engagement and sustainability.

By 2024, Fishman was ready for a new beginning. The team wanted:

  • A cost-effective wellness initiative that felt fresh and interactive

  • A platform to bring departments together

  • Gamified tools that could keep wellness top of mind

  • A data-driven solution to support their self-insured healthcare strategy

They needed more than a program—they needed a culture shift.

The Solution

In 2024, Fishman launched Woliba’s all-in-one platform to unify and energize their workforce around wellbeing.

Wellness Challenges That Build Community

Woliba’s variety of challenges helped connect departments and encourage healthy competition across the company.

Gamification That Motivates

Employees could earn points in multiple ways—from walking to reading articles to trying healthy recipes—keeping motivation high all year long.

“I like the challenge of getting up early and getting a walk in most mornings. I try to walk 4–5 miles. Also, the recipes are helpful. I have used some of the exercises as well.”
— Jim M., Fishman Employee

Admin Efficiency and Reporting

Woliba’s real-time dashboards and reporting tools made it easy to track engagement, participation, and progress toward wellness goals.

“Woliba has saved me time—I’d say 2 to 3 hours a week. The reporting is helpful, and we’re always being updated on the new features.”
— Danielle David, Wellness Program Admin

Social Feed for Peer Engagement

Starting in Q3, Fishman employees began connecting through Woliba’s social feed—sharing updates, supporting each other, and fostering a stronger sense of community.

The Impact

Fishman saw immediate progress in 2024, with wellness activities increasing steadily across the year:

  • Challenge participation rose from 33% in Q1 to 43% in Q4

  • Platform utilization increased from 10 to 31 activities per user

  • HRA completion improved from 66% to 75%

  • Social feed launched with 25 posts in Q3, kickstarting peer-to-peer engagement

  • Total wellness activities more than tripled between Q1 and Q4

In 2024, More than 50 employees completed the HRA. Within the first 90 days of 2025, the team had already reached 30 completions, showing strong early momentum.

What’s Next

After seeing strong engagement and momentum in year one, Fishman renewed with Woliba in 2025—drawn to the platform’s ability to bring people together, motivate healthy habits, and align with their long-term wellness goals.

2025 Goals:

  • Continue increasing HRA and challenge participation

  • Deepen admin understanding of the platform

  • Monitor engagement trends to help reduce insurance costs

  • Ensure a seamless and rewarding wellness experience for all users

With Woliba, Fishman Flooring Solutions is building more than a wellness program—they’re building a culture of engagement, motivation, and shared progress.

Key Takeaways

Fishman Flooring Solutions transformed a stalled wellness approach into a company-wide movement powered by gamification and community.

With Woliba, they built momentum across departments, boosted participation in wellness activities and assessments, and laid the foundation for long-term engagement—all while aligning with their goals as a self-insured employer.

By combining fun, data, and connection, Fishman now has a scalable, cost-effective solution that supports employee wellbeing and fuels a stronger workplace culture.
