Introduction
M2 Logistics operates across multiple locations, with employees that navigate a fast-paced and often high-pressure work environment. Recognizing that employee health isn’t just a way to curb rising healthcare costs, but also a vital part of a thriving workplace culture, leadership made a strategic decision in 2019 to launch a wellbeing program with Motion Connected. Together, we implemented a structured, year-round engagement program, ensuring employee wellbeing became a core part of their culture.
The Solution: Encourage Active Participation Through Engaging Employee Experiences
M2 Logistics needed a comprehensive wellness platform that was both easy to implement and manage. They wanted a solution that incorporated physical and mental health support, along with
robust tracking and reporting capabilities.
Additionally, they needed a partner that could deliver engaging content and activities to drive participation, helping them overcome common challenges many organizations face, like:
Rising Healthcare Costs
With growing concerns about long-term healthcare expenses, M2 wanted to take a proactive approach by encouraging preventative health measures among employees.
A Demanding Work Environment
The nature of the transportation industry can bring stress, long hours, and physical strain. Leadership knew that addressing both mental and physical health would be essential to long-term success.
Limited Internal HR Resources
Without a large HR team, M2 Logistics needed a wellness platform that was simple to implement and manage, without requiring excessive administrative oversight.
A Dispersed Workforce
With employees spread across multiple locations in the U.S., they needed a solution that could unite the team and streamline communication.
To solve these challenges, M2 Logistics partnered with Motion Connected to help drive engagement and health improvements.
