Case Study: Visa achieves improved employee wellbeing and productivity with Personify Health

How Visa Asia Pacific’s Investment in Employee Wellbeing Has Returned a Magnitude of Benefits

Visa Asia Pacific, a diverse workforce of more than 3,500 employees across 15–16 countries, wanted to give something back to staff that would strengthen teamwork and communication without being a predictable benefit. Senior leaders chose the Virgin Pulse wellbeing platform to deliver a region-wide, low‑administration program that would connect people across functions and time zones and sustain healthier daily habits.

Virgin Pulse provided a turnkey, holistic solution (nutrition, mental wellbeing, sleep, focus, Health Hub and My Stats) that was easy to implement and support. Results were strong: 83% of employees signed up, 88% want to participate again and 92% would recommend the program. Participants reported a 59% reduction in stress, a 54% increase in productivity, sleep improved from 42% to 56% getting 7+ hours, a 45% step‑average increase (+5,752 steps to 12,938), greater activity awareness (72% vs 45% pre) and meaningful weight loss for many (43% who tracked weight lost an average 4.5 kg; employees classed as overweight/obese lost an average 5.9 kg).
