Weight Loss Associated With Employee Income in an Incentivized Employee Wellness Program.

Objective: We examined the relationship between the type of incentivized wellness program and employee weight loss and the effects of participant income.

Methods: We retrospectively examined employees who participated in one of six weight loss wellness programs, which were categorized for the present analysis: reweigh/body mass index, Coaching, and Weight Watchers/Meal Replacement. Those who participated were eligible for a $350/year insurance premium discount.

Obese Employee Participation Patterns in a Wellness Program.

The purpose of this research was to retrospectively examine whether demographic differences exist between those who participated in an employee wellness program and those who did not, and to identify the selection of employees' choice in weight management activities. A nonequivalent, 2-group retrospective design was used. This study involved employees at a large, not-for-profit integrated health system.
