type of incentives for participation
Q: In terms of
incentives, to what
extent would the
following make you
more likely to participate
in your company’s
health-related program?
12 Copyright © 2012 ShapeUp, Inc. The content is this document is property of ShapeUp.
• Across all health and fitness levels, most employees share three common goals:
improving physical fitness, eating healthier, and losing weight.
• Health improvement is cited as the most common reason for participating in corporate
wellness programs, but employees also say that engaging with co-workers is a major
draw for exercise and weight loss programs.
• Employees appear to strongly value free wellness programs, citing that as a major
reason for participation.
• While monetary incentives are a strong driver of participation, employees also say
that they are more likely to engage in a corporate wellness program when they have
opportunities to participate with friends and family.
• When it comes to monetary incentives, cash is king. Employees also value large
prizes, discounts and reimbursements that save them money.

• When it comes to what employees most want in their corporate wellness program, we
asked the question in multiple ways to truly understand what they most value.
• Existing wellness program participation is highest for health assessments, programs
that include fitness devices, and weight loss programs.
• Consistent with their top health and wellness goals, employees cited fitness, nutrition,
and weight loss programs as programs they strongly desired.
• Employees also consistently identified preventive care – through physician visits or
biometric screening – as very important to them.
• Employees covet financial incentives, but many also want ongoing programs
tailored to their needs and ones that provide the ability to track progress and
achievements.
• Outside of the office, employees mostly pursue various physical activity-related
endeavors, with walking and sports leagues both cited most frequently.

Q: How likely are you to continue using your
employer’s wellness program in the future?
Most employees who participate in corporate wellness programs plan to
continue to do so; 2/3 say the programs have helped them reach their goals
Q: Has your wellness program helped you to meet
any personal health / wellness goals?
Not Likely
22 Copyright © 2012 ShapeUp, Inc. The content is this document is property of ShapeUp.
Yes, my wellness program helped me meet my personal goals:
• “It gives me an incentive to keep working on my health even when I don’t feel
like it.”
• “I am able to monitor my health conditions, and it is very convenient to
participate at work.”
• “I am in better shape and have lost weight due to the fitness competition among
colleagues. I work out any way, but have pushed myself with the competition.”
No, my wellness program did not help me meet my personal goals:
• “I’m not sure what our corporate wellness program even entails.”
• “Work is so busy. I don’t have time to exercise daily.”
• “It would be really nice to have an on-site gym.”
Employees get specific about why their corporate wellness programs have or
have not helped them to reach their personal health goals

• Over 90% of employees who have utilized any aspect of their company’s wellness
program say they are likely or very likely to do so, indicating a high level of program
satisfaction.
• Two-thirds of participants say that their company’s wellness program has helped them to
reach one or more of their personal fitness goals, a surprisingly high success rate.
• For employees who say their program has helped them achieve success, factors
included the motivation provided by the program, the ease and convenience of
participating at work, and social engagement with colleagues.
• For employees who did not meet personal goals, some cited a lack of knowledge of
available programs, a shortage of time to engage while at work, and the lack of an
onsite fitness facility.
• Employees say onsite fitness facilities and programs for exercise, nutrition, and
weight loss all need improvement.

Recommendations
for Employers

Focus your corporate wellness program on your employees’ three main health
goals: exercise, nutrition, and weight loss.
Physical activity-related offerings reign supreme as the most popular wellness
programs, so be sure to make a variety of exercise options available.
Onsite exercise facilities are in high demand, and employees say existing
ones need improvement. Invest in office gyms, not just for large offices but
even smaller ones too.
Employees say they value preventive screenings, indicating a desire to “know
their numbers” and identify potential future health problems. Continue to
invest in biometric screenings and preventive care options.
Opportunities to engage with co-workers are cherished, so make sure to
promote programs that are group-facilitated or team-based.
Recommendations – What Wellness Programs To Offer to Employees

Employees say they most want to improve their health, so continue to use this
as the main call to action when marketing wellness programs to them.
Focus on making wellness program communications bolder and simpler, since
many employees say they don’t know what is offered and that programs
appear complicated.
Employees frequently cite fitness tracking devices as a popular program
feature, so consider investing in these tools as incentives for enrollment.
Help employees to increase their motivation to engage through the use of
financial incentives, competitions, and public recognition.
Balance monetary incentives with social incentives, as employees say both
are powerful drivers of engagement.
Keep monetary incentives simple, and focus on cash or large prizes.

Lack of time is a major barrier to health improvement, so promote exercise
breaks and help employees to prioritize healthy activities during the day.
Find ways to build in more exercise opportunities at work, such as organizing
walking groups, designing walking trails, and hosting sports tournaments.
Seek more effective and robust exercise, nutrition, and weight loss programs
– employees say those that are already available have room for improvement.
Try to offer as many programs as possible free-of-charge, especially weight
loss programs, and more employees will take advantage of the programming.
Find ways to add fun and excitement to your wellness program through
games, technology, competitions, prizes, edgier marketing, and humor.
