Does It Pay To Pay? Using incentives in employee wellness – HR.com

There is a growing trend of large incentives as more employers seek ways to encourage and maximize employee wellness participation. But here at TotalWellness, we think there’s a better way.

A better approach to maximizing wellness participation is to focus on engagement and intrinsic motivation. Employee engagement with wellness programs requires more investment than just participation. It consists of intentional action by employees rather than the checking off of requirements. Being engaged with wellness encourages employees to think about why they want to be healthy and how they can get there.
