THE PROBLEM

Wellness isn't "one size fits all"

With the 'Great Resignation' well underway, it’s no secret that employee wellness is at the top of many organizations' minds. In today’s candidate-driven job market, companies that go above and beyond in supporting their employees’ well-being will win at attracting and retaining talent. Many organizations attempt to put wellness into one bucket, product, or service, which does not meet the requirements for employees' unique needs; as a result, employee resignation rates can increase due to unmet needs. Other companies recognize that supporting employees' well-being requires flexible options for varied needs.

THE SOLUTION

A flexible platform that offers choice

One such company is Formstack. The Formstack team uses PerkUp to give their 250+ people a flexible “Wellness Benefit”. When it comes to wellness, there’s no such thing as “one size fits all”. Wellness, by nature, means something different to everyone, and so an effective wellness program is one that embraces diversity and lets every individual define wellness for themselves.

One Formstack team member recently shared on LinkedIn that she uses her monthly wellness benefit to challenge herself with a Peloton subscription. Whereas she used to “hate working out”, Formstack was able to empower Yirang to focus on herself by providing her with a “better work-life balance.” In Yirang’s own words:

THE RESULT

Improved mental and physical health for employees

However, while a great option, a Peloton isn’t a benefit everyone necessarily wants. Another Formstack team member, for example, decided to use their PerkUp budget to upgrade their workstation with a standing desk!

It’s been incredible to hear how the Formstack team has used PerkUp to define wellness in their own way. We can’t wait to see how their team continues to use PerkUp to support their mental and physical health and we’re thrilled to be working with a company that cares so much about their people!
