Why Employees Participate in Wellness Programs |
Financial penalties motivate some employees to participate in wellness programs, but the more positive motivator is the desire for good health, according to a survey of more than 1,900 U.S. employees released in March. Employees were asked their primary reasons for participating in their employer’s wellness program. |
Reason for participation |
I want good health | 73% |
Financial incentives or rewards through my employer | 48% |
I want to minimize medical expenses | 38% |
Financial penalties imposed by my employer | 17% |
