Companies use free wellness incentives to boost participation and cut health-care costs <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

TREVOSE, PA \u2013 November 16, 2011 \u2013<\/strong> The Advertising Specialty Institute (ASI) today reported more and more companies are discovering giveaways boost employee participation in wellness programs and can ultimately lead to cuts in overall health-care costs.<\/p>\n

Incentives are key to encouraging employee participation in wellness programs. A recent Incentive Research Foundation<\/a> report shows only one in five people will participate in wellness programs if there are no incentives, while offering incentives increases participation by a minimum of 60%. \u201cIncentives also have a long-term impact,\u201d said foundation president Melissa Van Dyke.<\/p>\n

Popular promotional products used in incentive programs range from logoed body mass index calculators and jars filled with almonds instead of candy to wristbands, pedometers and backpacks, many carrying printed cards with health tips.<\/p>\n

According to a 2010 government report, up to 75% of the $2.5 trillion spent every year on U.S. health care is used for treating preventable conditions. And now, health-care reform is helping smaller companies launch wellness programs through grant money, tax credits, educational surveys and online portals.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s clear from ASI\u2019s research that companies can attain a significant ROI through wellness programs \u2013 but while 90% of U.S. corporations provide employee wellness programs, only 44% offer promotional products as incentives for participation,\u201d said Timothy M. Andrews, president and chief executive officer of ASI. \u201cThere\u2019s clearly room for growth in this market. It\u2019s good for business, and it\u2019s great for reducing skyrocketing health-care costs.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the passage of national health-care reform in 2010, businesses gained a greater incentive to offer employee wellness programs. By 2014, companies will be able to offer rewards of up to 30% of the total cost of an employee\u2019s insurance coverage.<\/p>\n
