Abstract:
When employees reach a plateau of performance and production, incentives usually are the answer to get those employees healthy and engaged again. StayWell views employee health programs as an important part of building a
high‐performance workforce. To capitalize on the potential
market advantage that healthier employees can provide, corporate leaders should view the use of incentives in the context of a range of promising investments in employee health (Terry & Anderson, 2011). However, before deciding to use incentives employers should understand the real advantages and disadvantages of using them.
