Employee Health Incentive Research

Meaning

Employee Health Incentive Research is the systematic study of the effectiveness, ethical implications, and behavioral impact of various reward structures designed to encourage employees to participate in and adhere to workplace wellness programs. Research in this area evaluates which types of incentives—monetary, non-monetary, or social recognition—are most successful in driving sustained engagement with health behaviors like physical activity, preventative screenings, and stress management programs. The findings are used to design cost-effective and compliant wellness initiatives that improve population health and productivity.
