To make outcomes-based incentives fair and effective with
improving employee health, recently published guidance9
suggests the following:
Avoid using a reward or
penalty that is so large it
discourages participation.
Use the 4 most
common targets of
weight, cholesterol,
blood pressure and
tobacco use.
Reward for progress
toward the standard
targets, instead of just
rewarding those who
meet the goal.
Help employees integrate
healthy behaviors by offering
personalized support, such as
a health coach, so they are
more likely to internalize and
sustain healthy behavior
changes over time.
For employees with a
medical condition that
makes it difficult to achieve
the health standard, defer
to the employee’s health
care provider for a
reasonable alternative
standard or a waiver.
