Incentive programs for health and wellness are designed to encourage employees to maintain healthy lifestyles, thereby reducing healthcare costs.
Every dollar spent on a wellness program saves $3 in healthcare costs.
What will incorporating mobile technology mean for health and wellness programs?
Incorporating mobile technology into health and wellness programs will make them more accessible and user-friendly.
A wellness administrator can instantly update points through a mobile incentive app whenever:
■ an employee weighs in,
■ starts an exercise program,
■ stops smoking, or
■ tracks blood pressure and cholesterol.
The instantaneous addition of rewards points in real time will further incentivize employees to keep up with their health and wellness goals.

Safety rewards programs are key for organizations that seek to promote proactive work behaviors and enhance safety in the workplace.
What are safety rewards programs?
Safety reward programs are incentive programs that drive employee performance and reinforce safety training. These programs are particularly important for:
■ Manufacturers
■ Pharmaceutical companies
■ Construction companies
■ Freight companies
Promoting safety in the workplace helps to reduce insurance claims.
What will incorporating mobile technology mean for safety rewards programs?
Incorporating mobile technology into safety rewards programs would enhance communications geared toward reducing accidents in the workplace and improve the likelihood of meeting safety goals.
A mobile app will help to reinforce safe work practices by rewarding employees in real time and providing:
■ Customized mobile award platforms,
■ Instant communication, and
■ Immediate access to updates on their program points, which are also redeemable through the app.
Reduce Workforce Absenteeism
In addition, the implementation of a mobile incentive app could help reduce workforce absenteeism. One suggestion is to institute an on-time incentive program which awards virtual points to individuals and teams, on their smartphones, keeping employees productive and motivated.
Reducing absenteeism may:
■ Improve safety because an understaffed business can lead to a greater risk of on-the-job accidents.
■ Promote productivity and morale.
Mobile incentive apps can help improve safety by communicating reminders and best practices to employees in real time right on the job.
They may soon be a key driving force behind improving safety in organizations that believe safer work environments are essential to long-term success.

With these technological advances, participation in incentive programs will be immediately rewarding for all users.

The addition of mobile app capabilities to incentive programs gives employees the ability to recognize the great work of fellow co-workers on an ongoing basis from wherever they are.
A mobile app may incorporate:
■ Peer-to-peer communication tools, such as messages and texts.
■ A mobile forum that allows employees to share ideas with each other.
■ A way for supervisors to acknowledge exceptional work of particular workers.
One of the key aspects of employee satisfaction is recognition for significant achievements and good work.

What's the best way to engage Millennials? Through a mobile incentive program!
Why? Millennials, the generation currently aged 23-32, also known as Generation Y, are the most tech-savvy group that’s ever entered the workforce.
Millennials make up 20% of the workforce and are notorious for being an enigma to Generation Xers and Baby Boomers.
- Their preferred method of communication is via smartphone.
- Their preferred language is textspeak.
What do Millennials want?
Millennials simply don’t engage in the same ways that older generations do. Their lifestyles are different, and so are their expectations:
- Most Millennials are not looking 5 or 10 years into the future.
- Most have an entrepreneurial attitude and a tendency to leave workplaces that don’t engage with them properly.
- The biggest statistical driver of workplace satisfaction for Millennials is whether their bosses recognize and praise their accomplishments.
- Millennials expect that they can go on a smartphone or a tablet and find what they are looking for immediately.
- They’re used to things happening quickly or even instantaneously.
That’s why the way Millennials communicate today is vastly different than the way people have communicated in the past.
The bottom line is that Millennials expect mobile and in order to motivate them in the workplace, organizations will need to think mobile first with incentive programs!

We are living in a mobile world. The widespread use of mobile technology has revolutionized the way the world interacts today and shows no signs of stopping.
According to a recent study from Cisco:
- On a global level, mobile data traffic increased by 70% in 2012 alone.
- By the end of 2013, the number of mobile-connected devices will exceed the number of people on earth.
- By the end of 2017, there will be over 10 billion mobile-connected devices in circulation.
What does this mean for the incentive industry?
- This dramatic increase in mobile data traffic means that every incentive program must be on its way to adding a mobile component by the end of 2013 to engage employees effectively.
- For an incentive program to have a continued relevant impact on employees, it will have to adapt to mobile technology, which is quickly becoming society’s most prevalent—and preferred—means of communication.

One of the best ways to make your meeting or conference a must-attend event is by providing your attendees with a thoughtful and memorable thank you gift. The traditional paradigm of presenting each attendee with an identical gift simply doesn't cut it; if you really want to send your meeting guests away with a fond impression they’ll remember, we suggest considering a custom gift - from custom sneakers by Adidas, to custom shoes for women by Shoes of Prey to bespoke men's shirts by Blank Label.

The Perfect Shoe for Women is Also the Perfect Meeting Gift!
