Financial Incentives
Q 1. Why do you think the $550 incentive did not result in people losing weight?2. Can you think of how incentives could have been structured to be more successful?
For the provided case here, the $550 incentive did not result in people losing weight because the employees do not take the money as motivational factors to lose weight. The workers take the incentive program lightly as it is not designed in a suitable manner. The sense of being fit should come mentally only then the physical activity can be started for losing weight. For this case, the employees were not ready for losing weight therefore, it did not work out.
