› Baseline Measurements› HRA – Health Risk Appraisal› Coaching/Plan› Follow up scheduled
Engagement Strategies› Challenges › Teams› Recognition – (Awards,
stories)

participate
Culture of Wellness› Measure & report on
culture and environmental improvements

Rewarding employees for result and performance rather than just
participation is more effective in changing health outcomes in an
employee population.
What One Company Learned
What Another Company Learned
Communication is key • Must have buy-in and collaboration with other departments
› • Benefits › • Payroll › • Marketing
• Employees should have some “skin” in the program • Enrollment incentives are useful for boosting enrollment
numbers; not so great for sustained engagement or program completion
• Depending on the value of the incentive employees may view the program as mandatory
Financial incentives work well for one-time actions
• They can produce short-term outcomes
(e.g. weight loss)
• Even relatively small amounts can work
• Long-term sustainability is unproven
• Behavioral economics offers key lessons:
• Immediate vs. delayed benefits
• Mental accounting
• Rewards vs. penalties
