Excerpt:

Gamification For Wellness Incentives

Organizations can transform healthy behaviours into a fun and rewarding experience by leveraging

technology to gamify wellness initiatives. Gamification involves incorporating game$-$like elements,

such as challenges, badges, leader boards and rewards, into wellness programs to motivate

employees to participate actively. For example, organizations can create step challenges where

employees compete to reach a certain number of daily steps. Employees can track their actions and

progress in real$-$time using wearable devices or mobile apps. This way, they are incentivized to stay

active and improve their overall health by introducing friendly competition and offering rewards to top

performers. Moreover, gamification can extend beyond physical activity. Organizations can create

nutrition, stress management, or mental well$-$being challenges. Employees earn points or badges by

completing tasks, unlocking rewards or recognition within the organization. This promotes healthy

behaviours, boosts employee morale and creates a sense of accomplishment.
