Wellness Incentives Fact
and Fiction
Thursday,
August 26, 2010 - 11 am - FREE webinar
Wellness incentive programs can be a complete waste of
money. But some of them actually work. What's the
difference? Wellness experts from WellSteps will help you sort
through the incentives fact and fiction. You'll see actual
examples of incentives that worked and incentives that didn't. If
all you do is boost participation, you're likely wasting money.
The core of effective wellness programs is actual behavior change.
With proper execution, incentives can be used to not just boost
participation but improve employee behavior and lower employee health
risks. To register, go to
