Moving beyond incentives to create a world-class workplace culture

Worksite Wellness has been designed around incentives to drive participation. But what if we’ve gotten it wrong?

Participation and engagement are not the same. Engagement is critical to long-term success and stems from intrinsic motivation. Research shows that incentives and extrinsic rewards at best result in short-term compliance; at worst they weaken intrinsic motivation. Sustainable change and engagement requires a high level of intrinsic motivation and a shift in how people think about themselves and the world around them.

Look beyond incentives to shift how people think about health. This session explores the pitfalls of incentives and extrinsic motivation and presents a framework for fostering intrinsic motivation.

Learn to:

• Understand the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and how incentives impact motivation.
• Identify the roles that intrinsic, extrinsic, and systemic values play in decision-making and motivation.
• Build wellness efforts that are less reliant on incentives and more aligned with fostering intrinsic motivation.

This webinar is for Trust members only.
