Corporate Wellness Incentive Plans : Company Wellness Program: Incentive Seletion

Incentives advocate staff members 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 people complete a Employee Wellness Program, or help people shift or adhere to healthy lifestyles. Providing incentives/rewards and rewards will send an important message to the staff members that your business is committed to helping them with bettering their health. It also plays a important role in motivating people to take part.

Tips on how to choose appropriate incentives:

• Identify through an employee survey what incentives they value.
• Determine what incentives/rewards the company can offer as well as what the budget will allow.
• Be sure that every colleague who achieves a objective receives some recognition.
• Avoid offering incentives and rewards for the “best” or the “most.”
• Avoid using food as a reward.
• Use rewards and incentives to promote your Company Wellness Program, through logos and branding.
