Samsung Electronics is a tech leader with an ecosystem of products that improve lives and its holistic approach to employee wellness extends to supporting employees in and out of the office.
With more team members returning to hybrid working, the company has created a state-of-the-art gym at its UK headquarters.
Samsung supports 1,700 colleagues, with 900 in its head office. It wanted to deliver physical and digital wellbeing solutions to help them care for their physical and mental health.
Technogym was chosen for its R&D, innovative solutions, immersive content and digital ecosystem and Natalie Prempeh, people director at Samsung UK, explains how the facility has strengthened the company’s corporate wellness programme.
Best-in-class partner for digital journey “Technogym’s equipment is industry-leading,” says Prempeh. “Like us, the company is more than its products and values solutions that support a healthier world. Technogym also provides the analysis, digital and proactive support we need.”
Technogym Corporate Club Solution offers Samsung colleagues a streamlined set of services from induction and assessment, to education, content and biofeedback. It also gives HR the opportunity to analyse user data, ensuring the gym delivers.
Best in class solutions The health suite includes a state-of-the-art gym with Technogym products, including content-rich Excite Live cardio, Biostrength strength equipment, the high-performance Skill Line and strength accessories.
Samsung has leveraged Technogym’s AI-driven offers to create a user experience, starting with Technogym Checkup which allows an initial assessment to track Wellness Age and progress across a range of metrics, including body, cardio, strength, balance, mobility and mind.
Technogym Coach supports employees using AI to design personalised training plans based on Checkup data, while Technogym App guides them through every step of the experience.
Employees can engage in challenges built into their corporate wellness experience and Prempeh says she’s already noticed friendly competition between team members who can view each other’s performance results.
Technogym App includes a recorded induction and guides users through equipment use.
It also collects biofeedback, adjusts training goals and allows colleagues to track progress. The Technogym digital ecosystem also supports colleagues working from home and travelling, with robust solutions for holistic wellbeing.
Wellness Champions lead the way Samsung’s health suite has been designed to motivate all colleagues, including those who’ve never used a gym.
Before it opened, Samsung appointed Wellness Champions who tested the equipment, reporting back to Prempeh and her team. Uptake for the pilot group was enthusiastic, with 90 people applying.
Since opening, the Wellness Champions have shifted into a role of advocacy and long-term engagement, helping others use the gym and encouraging conversations around health and wellness.
For the launch, Technogym’s expert trainers offered in-person support, running group exercise classes, facilitating inductions and helping early adopters get the most from the solutions. The facility will ultimately run on Technogym’s digital ecosystem.
Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive, with an impressive 82 per cent of Samsung employees actively engaged with the programme in the first three months.
Prempeh has observed a boost in employees’ energy levels and job satisfaction and the team is confident the new facilities will not only enhance employee retention, but also attract new talent to Samsung.
“Technogym has given us fantastic support,” said Prempeh. “The team helped us make decisions about the space, advised on how to engage colleagues, and helped us educate employees around health and wellness. It’s been a collaborative experience and we’ve ended up with a fantastic addition to our wellness offering.”
