Select Incentives
Incentive programs attempt to build motivation by offering individuals external rewards for taking steps in the right direction. Incentives range from recognition in the employee newsletter for participating in the company baseball team to a small monetary bonus for quitting smoking. They can also include contributions to a “health promotion medical savings account,” merchandise awards (e.g., cups, t-shirts, etc.), extra time off from work or travel awards. A common incentive for important behavior changes is discounted health insurance premiums.
The following is an example that can be used alone or adapted for various types of programs to encourage people to participate. Feel free to change the types of incentives, log sheets or the behaviors you are rewarding.
