The City of Fort Collins Builds a Culture of Health with Wellness360
When Danny Nelson, Senior Wellness Coordinator at the City of Fort Collins, embarked on revitalizing the city’s employee wellness program, he knew that success required more than just participation—it depended on easy access, engagement, and proactive health management at scale.
“We started by asking simple questions: How can we help employees get involved? How do we set up point systems and reward healthy behaviors?” Danny recalls. “But now, thanks to Wellness360, our focus has shifted—we’re optimizing for even greater engagement, because our employees are so enthusiastic about earning points and participating. Some have even surpassed all expectations, racking up points at impressive speeds.”
Seamless Integration for Maximum Impact
The City of Fort Collins partnered with Wellness360 to integrate the wellness platform directly with internal city systems, making participation effortless for every employee. With a single sign-on experience and intuitive interface, employees easily accessed health risk assessments and a suite of wellness resources from the day the program launched — ultimately helping 90% of the workforce achieve a low occupational health risk score.
Engaging Programs Drive Enthusiasm
Wellness360 delivered a range of accessible programs—including physical activity challenges, preventive care initiatives, and stress management resources. These offerings sparked a wave of excitement throughout the city’s workforce, fostering friendly competition and encouraging employees to pursue both physical and mental well-being.
“Our participation has been remarkable,” Danny notes. “With a 99% registration rate, nearly every city employee is engaged with our wellness programs, setting a new standard for what active participation looks like.”
Measurable Outcomes and a Culture Shift
This comprehensive wellness approach paid off quickly. Employees embraced the points system, tracking healthy behaviors and participating in challenges at record rates. Preventive care initiatives helped identify potential health risks early, allowing the city to allocate healthcare resources more efficiently and support better outcomes for its people. Notably, 90% of employees scored in the low occupational health risk category: a benchmark associated with savings of up to $1,238 per claimant in workers' compensation costs.
Wellness360 also played a key role in shifting the organizational culture toward health consciousness and proactive self-care—a transformation evident in the high energy and morale among participating staff.
A Foundation for Continued Success
Looking ahead, Danny and his team are focused on fine-tuning program administration and unlocking even more value for employees. With robust participation and tangible shifts in workplace culture, the City of Fort Collins, supported by Wellness360, continues to set an example for how municipal organizations can prioritize and elevate employee health.
“Adoption is no longer the issue—instead, we’re celebrating just how deeply integrated wellness has become in our workplace,” Danny shares. “Wellness360 has helped us move from questions about participation to a future focused on real, lasting impact.”
