Since 2018, Personio has partnered with EGYM Wellpass in Germany, to give employees unlimited access to a wide range of gyms, fitness studios, and wellness programs. Personio covers about €30 per employee, making it simple and affordable for team members to prioritize their health.
The results speak for themselves: today, nearly 4 out of 10 Personio employees take advantage of Wellpass to stay active, energized, and connected.
Fitness That Fuels Business Results
Here's what Personio discovered:
Healthier teams mean fewer sick days.
Employees who work out regularly take about 22% fewer sick days.
Wellpass members see measurable impact.
On average, Welllpass users take 0.14 fewer sick days per employee each year.
That adds up to real savings.
For Personio, this translates to about €31,700 in annual salary costs saved just from reduced sick leave.
A smart return on investment.
- Annual Wellpass investment: €126,000 for 350 full-time employees
- Annual value from saved workdays: €157,500
- Net gain: the equivalent of 2.5 extra full-time employees added back into the business —without extra hiring
Why It Works
Corporate fitness isn't just a perk. It's a win-win strategy: employees get access to thousands of fitness and wellness options they actually want to use, while companies see higher productivity, lower absenteeism, and a stronger workplace culture.
