Case Study: Synopsys achieves higher employee well-being and 66% program participation with WebMD Health Services

Kerstin Aiello at Synopsys and The Power of Small Wins

Synopsys faced the challenge of engaging a hard-to-reach, culturally diverse workforce with a year‑round, whole‑person well‑being approach. After reviewing vendors, Synopsys selected WebMD Health Services and its customizable well‑being platform to replace a one‑size‑fits‑all program and better support employees’ physical and mental health.

WebMD Health Services implemented a tailored program and outreach strategy—using employee surveys to guide communications, simplifying email topics, offering multilingual written materials, creative reminders (stickers), targeted renaming of challenges, and even proactive calls to explain complex benefits. The vendor’s solution helped drive participation to more than 66% of eligible employees, produced measurable gains in energy, job satisfaction, confidence and biometric measures, and continues to increase enrollment in benefits like 401(k) features.
