Performance Incentive Equity

Meaning

Performance Incentive Equity is a management and clinical concept that mandates the structure of health and wellness incentives must be fair and equally attainable across a diverse population, accounting for inherent differences in baseline health status, genetic predisposition, and environmental stressors. This principle recognizes that standardized wellness metrics, such as weight loss or strength gains, can disproportionately reward individuals who are already physiologically advantaged. True equity requires personalizing the metric of “performance” to focus on the relative physiological improvement and adherence to personalized protocols.
