Incentives advocate employees to adopt positive behaviors or maintain an existing positive behavior that may potentially help the employee stay healthy and live longer. Adopting positive health behavior is fundamentally what wellness is about.
Incentives can be used to boost participation rates, help individuals complete a Employee Wellness Program, or help individuals modify or adhere to healthy lifestyles. Providing rewards and incentives and rewards will send an important message to the staff members that your corporation is committed to assisting them with bettering their health. It also plays a important role in motivating individuals to participate.
Tips on how to choose appropriate incentives:
• Identify through an employee survey what incentives they value.
• Determine what rewards and incentives the company can offer as well as what the budget will allow.
• Make sure that every attendant who achieves a intention receives some recognition.
• Avoid offering incentives for the “best” or the “most.”
• Avoid using food as a reward.
• Use incentives/rewards to promote your Worksite Health Promotion Program, through logos and branding.
