Inducements

Meaning

Inducements, in the context of health and wellness, are financial or non-financial rewards offered to individuals to encourage participation in a program or to achieve specific health-related outcomes. These incentives can take the form of premium discounts, cash rewards, gift cards, or merchandise, serving as a motivational tool to promote engagement in preventative health behaviors. Legally, the structure and value of these inducements are highly regulated to ensure they do not become coercive, which would violate the voluntary nature of wellness programs.
