Case Study SIG

The Problem

Schools Insurance Group employees were stressed out.

“We heard over and over again from our employee surveys that they needed stress relief,” said Schools Insurance Group Wellness Manager Amy Gonnella. “That feedback lined up with reports from our health carriers and research showing that teaching is a high-stress, high-burnout industry.”

It wasn’t just teachers who needed help. Schools Insurance Group (SIG) works with teachers, bus drivers, nutrition personnel, and maintenance workers across 34 school districts in the Pacific Northwest. SIG needed a stress-reduction program that would work for every employee and location. Plus, the solution needed to adapt to fit each employees’ unique well-being needs.

Our Solution

Grokker’s holistic solution easily addressed the diverse needs of SIG’s employee population. To meet SIG's stress-reduction goals, we prescribed targeted wellness challenges timed during high-intensity work months. For example, we planned a custom, 21-day “soul-cation” challenge leading into the busy period before winter break. The challenge featured short meditation and relaxation videos to help employees manage stress during a busy time.

“We wanted employees to learn easy techniques that they could use daily at work and at home to manage their stress,” said Gonnella.

The Result

Thanks to Grokker, Gonnella says a “culture shift” has occurred. Teachers are using stress-relief techniques they learned from Grokker with children in the classroom.
