Wellness programs are all the rage right now among employer alterations to their employee benefit packages. But even with the increased interest, there’s still a low participation rate among their team members. As compensation, many organizations have instigated incentive programs to increase involvement. Unfortunately, I have some bad news for you: Those enrollment incentives don’t work.
