Case Study: Wellesley College achieves 15% reduction in employee anxiety and builds a culture of health with meQuilibrium

Wellesley College - Customer Case Study

Wellesley College offered meQuilibrium to 1,200 faculty and staff as part of its Healthy You initiative to create a culture of health and address top risk factors—stress, weight, and blood pressure. The college faced the challenge of reducing unhealthy behaviors and engaging employees who couldn’t attend group programs, so it chose meQuilibrium’s science‑based, personalized, 24/7 resilience and stress‑reduction solution to improve emotional wellbeing and support lasting behavior change.

meQuilibrium’s program reached 24% of faculty and staff and produced measurable improvements: participating employees reduced anxiety by 15% and overall stress by 3.9% (higher than the meQuilibrium client average), and the college’s medical spend moved below regional and national trends. The initiative also increased morale, became a top‑three valued benefit, supported recruitment and retention, and helped Wellesley College earn a Boston Business Journal Healthiest Employer Award in 2015.
