Incentives promote workers to adopt beneficial behaviors or maintain an existing beneficial behavior that may potentially help the employee stay healthy and live longer. Adopting beneficial health behavior is fundamentally what wellness is about.

Incentives can be used to stimulate participation rates, help people complete a Worksite Wellness Program, or help people change or adhere to healthy lifestyles. Providing incentives/rewards and rewards will send an significant message to the staff members that your company is committed to assisting them with working on their health. It also plays a significant role in motivating people to take part.

Tips on how to choose appropriate incentives/rewards:

• Determine through an employee survey what incentives they value.
• Ascertain what incentives/rewards the business can support as well as what the budget will allow.
• Ensure that every colleague who achieves a intention receives some recognition.
• Avoid offering rewards and incentives for the “best” or the “most.”
• Avoid using food as a reward.
• Use incentives and rewards to reward your Worksite Health Promotion Program, through logos and branding.
