HealthyWage is founded on research and double-incentivization methodology that proves cash rewards triple the effectiveness of weight loss programs. As case-in-point, HealthyWage payouts are proof positive. For their weight-loss achievements that collectively exceeds an astounding 1,050,000 pounds for this year, alone269 of which losing in excess of 100 pounds (and nearly 7.5 million pounds lost since the companys launch), HealthyWage has reportedly paid more than 30,000 dieters over $13 million cash in 2020, specifically and over $55 million cash since its inception in 2009.
A few notable HealthyWager success stories (both female and male) also exemplify the power of this approach. These include Jean N. who lost 71 pounds. and won $3,357.99 for her efforts, and Jeremy M. who also lost 71 pounds. and won $1,886.32 for his own slim down success. From its website, HealthyWage.com shares yet more inspirational success stories of both women and men who gained financially for their pound-shedding achievements using the companys unique gamification approach. This includes Kristin W. who lost a staggering 114 pounds and won $4,000 for her efforts, Anastasia W. who lost 41 pounds and won a whopping $10,000 in kind and Blake S. who lost an impressive 151 pounds and won $4,670 for his own slimdown success. Figures that are tasty, indeed.
Studies show that monetary incentives serve to enhance the effectiveness of, and duly complement, weight-loss programs of any and all sorts, especially when paid out quickly like our various programs, said HealthyWage co-founder David Roddenberry. The average participant more than doubles their investment if they are successful at achieving their goal. The financial upside potential is impressive.
Sherri Shepherd [Photo credit: Damu Malik]The efficacy of diet gamification is well-proven. For one, according to study findings published by JAMA Internal Medicine, behavioral economics-based gamification led to significantly increased physical activity among overweight and obese Americans. In this particular study, pairing a step-tracking device with social incentives led to sustained, long-term behavior changeprompting participants to take more steps then with a step-tracking device, alone. While the report explains that gamification interventions significantly increased physical activity during the 24-week intervention, with competition being the most effective.
Further validating HealthyWages well-honed approach, an additional study published in the journal Social Science and Medicine continue to prove that money is an effective motivator to increase both the magnitude and duration of weight loss. The same hold true in business for staff wellness initiatives. Results from one study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine indicated that Loss Incentive Motivates Employees to Take More Steps, finding that financial incentives framed as a loss were most effective for achieving physical activity goals.
Throngs of studies reiterate the importance of the stick in the design of a wellness incentive program, whether for individuals at home or for employee groups, Roddenberry says. Many studies have demonstrated that the threat of losing something of value is much more effective than the opportunity to win something of equal value. Thats precisely why we advocate that program participants pay to play and make an investment out of their own pocket in order to win rewardsin our case large cash prizesfor losing weight and getting more active in the program.
As a prolific corporate and group wellness purveyor, since 2009 HealthyWage has worked with an array of hi-caliber participants on workplace and staff wellness initiatives, including Halliburton, ConocoPhillips and more than 25% of the largest school districts in the country.
