Redesigning and Rethinking the Well Workplace

Institute of Motion

Activiste was commissioned by the US-based Institute of Motion, to conduct market research and develop a brand for their proprietary approach to corporate wellness for the workplace.

Challenge

Peak Performance in the Workplace

The Institute of Motion spent nearly two decades learning how to shape and power up environments to enhance human health and performance in sport, and believed that this framework was equally valid in the corporate arena.

Because organisations are so multi-faceted, the workplace environment is a network of roles, practices, needs, and spaces — all of which have an impact on the personal well-being of its people. In this way, each organisation is a unique ecosystem.

But it needed to articulate its value proposition and framework convincingly to go-to-market with scale and impact.

What is Wellcology?

The name Wellcology is based on the idea of the “ecology of wellness” — a new way for organisations to shape and power up environments to enhance human health and performance. Redefining wellness in this way helps to reframe how organisations can bring holistic well-being to workplaces.

Solution

Integrating Research with Strategic Branding

Activiste conducted research with global organisations as well as Asian institutions on how they viewed employee health and well-being in relation to corporate performance.

Through this, we evaluated various naming and positioning narratives and identified the Brand Opportunity for this new framework which enabled the Institute of Motion to make the shift from sports performance to corporate wellness.

Activiste went on to develop the value proposition,  developed a visual communications system and a sell deck for Wellcology.

“The goal is to help organisations shape their Wellness Ecosystem to create purposeful and human potential-led work environments and experiences.”
