Incentives promote workers 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 increase participation rates, help individuals complete a Workplace Health Promotion Program, or help individuals change or adhere to healthy lifestyles. Providing incentives and rewards will send an important message to the staff members that your business is committed to assisting them with working on their health. It also plays a important role in motivating individuals to take part.
Tips on how to choose appropriate incentives and rewards:
• Identify through an employee survey what incentives and rewards they value.
• Determine what incentives the organization can support as well as what the budget will allow.
• Ensure that every attendant who achieves a goal receives some recognition.
• Avoid offering incentives and rewards for the “best” or the “most.”
• Avoid using food as a reward.
• Use incentives to encourage your Worksite Health Promotion Program, through logos and branding.
