Case Study: Nelnet boosts employee wellness and engagement with US Wellness

Nelnet boosts employee engagement 45% with US Wellness

Nelnet, a financial services organization specializing in student loans, sought to improve employee health and engagement through its wellness program. The company partnered with vendor US Wellness to address challenges like tobacco cessation and providing a centralized platform for wellness resources, later expanding their goals to include a COVID-19 containment strategy.

US Wellness implemented a comprehensive solution including biometric screenings, an online wellness portal for challenges and incentive tracking, and a health coaching program. This was later augmented with a COVID digital monitoring app. As a result, Nelnet saw a 45% year-over-year increase in employee engagement and reduced the percentage of employees who smoke from 15% to less than 3%.
