You will learn how to implement an incentive strategy linking wellness programming and benefit plan design.  

While wellness programs have emerged as a method to address rising costs and declining health, many organizations still struggle to define strategies and engage employees in their health. To promote health and encourage positive behavior change, organizations have turned to a wide variety of incentives. You will hear about Miami University’s achievements and missteps as they implemented a comprehensive incentive program to establish a culture of wellness. This session will help you understand why incentives are an integral component of successful wellness programs; show you how to refine your incentive strategies to engage employees in wellness programs; and, discover incentive ideas you can implement into your organization’s wellness program.
