Survey: More Companies Offering Pay-for-Performance Incentives in Wellness Programs
A growing number of large companies with wellness programs are offering outcomes-based incentives, according to a new survey.
The survey, conducted by the Chicago-based benefits-software firm bswift, found that 24 percent of large employers (those with more than 500 benefits-eligible workers) offer incentives for employees who meet or exceed biometric thresholds – up from 15 percent in 2013 and 13 percent in 2012.
Nearly half of large employers are considering offering incentives for biometric test outcomes in the future.
