Summary

A tiered incentive program for employee physical activity significantly increased participation and step goals compared to a single goal. This multi-tier approach offers choices, potentially improving engagement in wellness initiatives.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Behavioral Science
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Physical activity offers significant health benefits, reducing risks for major diseases.
  • Employer-sponsored wellness programs often use incentives to boost employee engagement.
  • Evaluating different incentive structures is crucial for optimizing wellness program effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness of two employee incentive designs for physical activity (step goals).
  • To assess how a tiered incentive structure influences employee participation and achievement.
  • To determine if a multi-tier approach enhances engagement in workplace wellness programs.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective study design analyzing data from employees aged 18-65.
  • Compared a single quarterly step goal (500,000 steps) in 2011 with a 3-tier plan (400,000, 650,000, 900,000 steps) in 2012.
  • Analyzed participation rates, incentive achievement, and average daily steps for employees in both years.

Main Results:

  • Employee participation in the step program increased from 64.7% in 2011 to 72.8% in 2012.
  • The percentage of employees achieving at least one quarterly incentive rose from 36.3% to 51.4% with the tiered plan.
  • Average daily steps significantly increased in 2012 (M=3573) compared to 2011 (M=2817) among the same employees (P<.001).

Conclusions:

  • A tiered incentive design appears more effective than a single goal for increasing employee physical activity.
  • Offering choices in goal setting within a multi-tier incentive structure may enhance behavioral change.
  • Tiered incentives can be a valuable population health strategy for promoting workplace wellness.
