At Mekari, building world-class software is only part of the story. As one of Indonesia’s top SaaS companies, with over 1 million platform users, Mekari is equally committed to building a workplace where people can thrive, grow, and feel good doing it.

To help bring that culture to life, Mekari partnered with CHOYS, integrating daily wellbeing into the employee experience through fun, rewarding features that promote movement, recognition, and personal health. In this case study, we will be covering how Mekari used CHOYS to take care of their employee wellbeing.

About Mekari 

Mekari helps power digital transformation for businesses across Indonesia through platforms like Mekari Jurnal, Talenta, Qontak, and Flex, spanning everything from HR to accounting and finance.

Backed by a decade of growth and a future-focused mindset, Mekari believes in empowering its people just as much as its clients. The company’s internal motto, #TentuBisa, reflects its drive to build, grow, and care, with intention and impact.

The Challenge: Wellbeing That Works for a Distributed Workforce

With employees spread across cities, islands, and even countries, Mekari needed a wellbeing solution that was inclusive, flexible, and engaging, something that would resonate with everyone, not just HQ.

While the team already valued wellness, it needed a tool that could:

  • Drive consistent engagement across locations
  • Support mental and physical health in simple, accessible ways
  • Promote real-time recognition, not just during reviews or annual events
  • Create a space for feedback, appreciation, and shared wins

How CHOYS Made Daily Habits Meaningful for Mekari Employees

CHOYS gave Mekari a way to turn small everyday actions into moments of connection, motivation, and support.

Employees could:

  • Track steps and challenge each other in friendly duels (13.5 million steps walked!)
  • Earn coins for daily health goals like hydration, mindfulness, sleep, and mood tracking
  • Post wins on the Moment Wall and celebrate peers in real time
  • Redeem CHOYSCoins (55.5k earned / 42.4k spent) for gift cards, shoutouts, and meaningful experiences
  • Access mental health support through tech, no stigma, no waiting

The experience helped Mekari shape a culture where wellbeing isn’t just supported, it’s lived.

What the People Strategy Manager of Mekari thinks about CHOYS

Dianing Lupitasari, People Strategy Manager at Mekari, shared how CHOYS has become a valuable part of how they care for and engage their team:

“We always try to get feedback from Mekarians and incorporate it to make improvements. A lot of the feedback we receive is about the need for more support around employee wellbeing.

Over time, we’ve seen how employee welfare results in better performance, and that directly helps the company reach its goals.

In the past, people were afraid to speak up or even book a session with a psychologist. But that’s changing. More and more people now understand that having good mental health leads to better outcomes. When they need help, they come to us, and we’re happy to support them.

All of this has to start from the top. If management is on board, everything else follows more smoothly. That’s why we always involve management in every change, event, or campaign we run."
