Case Study: Helvar achieves 80% participation and improved global employee wellbeing with Personify Health

Helvar - Customer Case Study

Helvar, a global lighting solutions expert that puts wellbeing at the heart of its business, wanted to take its people-focused approach global — uniting offices in the UK, Sweden and Finland to boost employee health, connection and engagement. The challenge was rolling out a single, engaging wellbeing programme across diverse locations and sustaining participation, especially as the pandemic disrupted in-person activities.

Helvar partnered with Virgin Pulse for a coordinated global launch (live call, multi-channel comms, Team Captains and leaderboards) and strong leadership buy-in. The result was an outstanding 80% participation rate, about 150 million steps (~96,000 km) and 66 million calories burned; 77% of employees now meet the 10,000-steps recommendation (up from 20%), 80% reported reduced stress and 61% reported improved productivity — outcomes celebrated with a virtual event and plans for ongoing wellbeing initiatives.
