Case study: How a Global Telecom Leader Built a Scalable, Wellness Program for 20,000+ Employees

A leading telecommunications company with more than 20,000 employees across North America, Europe, and Asia was looking for a new way to support employee wellbeing. With a workforce spread across time zones, cultures, and job types—from field technicians to contact center staff to corporate teams—they needed a solution that could reach everyone and deliver meaningful impact.

The Challenge

Previous wellness initiatives had limited reach and low engagement, especially among frontline and non-desk employees. The company’s goals were clear:

  • Provide accessible wellbeing support for all roles and regions
  • Increase employee participation and healthy habits
  • Reduce internal workload and simplify program management

 

The Program

The company launched a long-term wellness program using Reaction Club’s customizable platform. The program included:

  • Core Platform: A mobile-first app offering wellness content, challenge tracking, and progress sharing

  • Live Wellness Sessions: Monthly virtual classes including yoga, guided stretch breaks, nutrition workshops and stress-relief sessions

  • Weekly Wellness Tips: Short, easy-to-digest advice delivered via email

  • 12-Week Coaching Journeys: Structured group coaching on fitness, nutrition, and stress management

  • Wellness Community Manager: A dedicated point of contact to engage participants and drive momentum

  • Recognition and Rewards: A points-based system where employees could earn and redeem rewards or donate to charitable causes

 

Results After One Year

The program achieved meaningful reach and ongoing engagement across the company:

  • 44% of all employees enrolled in the program

  • 76% of participants increased their daily step count

  • 9% participated in live wellness sessions

  • 11% accessed on-demand video content

  • 14% of employees shared achievements with others through the in-app feed

  • Weekly wellness emails saw an average open rate of 41%

  • The program earned an average satisfaction score of 8.6/10 from participants

  • $10,000 was donated to charities through challenge-related giving

  • $7,500 in rewards were distributed to employees

 

Why It Worked

The program was successful because it was tailored to the company’s diverse structure. It offered flexibility for individuals to engage in their own way—whether that was through movement challenges, stress-relief sessions, or structured coaching. By combining recognition, light gamification, and ongoing support, the company kept wellbeing relevant and inclusive across departments and regions.

Just as importantly, it required minimal lift from internal teams. With automated communication, clear reporting, and a dedicated program manager, the HR and benefits team was able to roll out and sustain the program without adding complexity to their workflows.

 

Looking Ahead

The company now sees workplace wellbeing as a foundational part of its culture. The wellness program continues to evolve each quarter with new content, challenges, and engagement strategies to meet the needs of a dynamic workforce.
