Itaú: the first bank to join Makana

The challenge: reinventing wellbeing inside the bank

Itaú was looking for something different. Something innovative that would let them make a real difference, both in quality of life and in the experience of working at the bank.

The goal was clear: prevention had to stop living only in documents and protocols and become something far more personalized, closer to each person's wellbeing.

"We were looking for something different, something innovative, something that would let us make a difference both in quality of life and in the experience of working here."

— Daniel Valdenegro, Benefits and Health and Safety Lead, Itaú

What we did with Makana

Through a strategic partnership with ACHS, we rolled out Makana at Itaú's corporate building, installing our wellbeing lockers right where the work happens.

The model won them over from the first moment, for a simple reason: instead of adding another layer of protocols, it brings prevention and self-care into people's working day.

• Lockers on every floor, within reach of every team.
• You can book on the spot, with no friction.
• Each person uses it while working, without stopping their day.

"What we liked most about this was how simple it is, how fast, and the availability. The lockers are on every floor, you can book right there, I can do it while I'm working. The availability, the flexibility and how simple it is — that's the tool."

— Daniel Valdenegro, Benefits and Health and Safety Lead, Itaú

What employees experienced

Adoption was immediate. Downloading the app turned out to be easy and intuitive, and the length of each session felt just right: enough to recharge and go back to work in better shape.

"My experience with Makana was great. Downloading the app is super easy and intuitive. This time I used the machine for shoulder and neck and it's really good. The time you use it for, I think, is just right. Makana, thumbs up."
