The Gamification of Wellness: Employee Rewards and Recognition Combine to Combat Obesity
Presenters:
Scott Springer (Sweat Equity Network)
Lee Embley (Sweat Equity Network)
Reward points – it’s a concept we’re all familiar with. From skymiles to cashback points for credit cards, these rewards encourage loyalty and direct behaviors. At the same time, employers are used to motivating their sales teams through commissions and incentives. What would happen if you could recognize and reward your employees for behaviors that have a positive impact on the bottom line? What if we gave out reward points to people for being healthier and more active? Through the Gamification of Wellness, companies can find a win-win – motivating their teams to adopt healthy, sustainable behaviors and rewarding employees at the same time. Americans spend more than $150 billion per year treating obesity-related conditions. And even though we and our employees know that physical activity is the strongest medicine against this disease, half of people who start exercising will quit within six weeks. It’s a lack of motivation and incentive to sustain physical activity. When a company buys into a wellness program, the expectation is that it actually moves their employees to a lasting healthier place. Facts tell us that most employees only do enough to comply: they get their incentive and then revert to past behaviors. SEN changes that. Our model continually pays off with instant economic rewards. So, employees get — and stay — healthy. Through competition, social interaction, games and a social currency, there is a new way to inspire health. Human Resources professional will see what a gamified wellness program might look like and how it works. See what rewards, recognition, social media, technology and wellness can do together.

How To Become An ANTHROPOMAXIMOLOGIST And Why!
Presenters:
Fern Silver (Fern Silver LTD)
An Anthropomaximologist is someone who helps others to perform at their best, get an A. Anthropomaximology is a term that comes from sports, specifically from sports kinesiology – “the study of the anatomy, physiology, and mechanics of body movement, especially in humans, and its application to the evaluation and treatment of muscular imbalance or derangement.” To achieve those winning moments in sports it is not enough to just evaluate and correct the physiology. The second and highly critical side of maximizing performance is our ability to create a mind- set – visualize the outcome – make a connection between the way we think and the way we perform. However, the definition of Anthropomaximology, from the International Federation of Kinesiology is “the science investigating the reserve potential of the healthy employee and the way to realize such potential fully under Maximum Effort.” While 90% of organizations have some type of recognition program in place The Reality is….. 65% of workers say they received no recognition in the last year. Becoming an Anthropomaximologist is all about ME (Maximum Effort) helping others shine. Imagine the celebration if the majority of your employees felt like #1 and treated others like they were #1 Do you know this leader? If you want to know the secrets of getting everyone to try harder – even perform 3-5 times as well as they do, then follow the path of this Anthropomaximologist and business winner who told us; “Remember; getting there isn’t half the fun – it’s all the fun!” To win big, “You’ll have to give up being an administrator who loves to run others and become a manager who carries water for his people so they can get on with the job.” He was passionate about some pretty fundamental requirements for success: humility; respect for people on the firing line; deep understanding of the nature of the business and the kind of people who can enjoy themselves making it prosper; respect from way down the line; HONESTY under pressure.

How Personal Legacy Propels Enterprise Success
Presenters:
David Bator (TemboSocial Inc.)
"You can't build a reputation on what you're going to do," observed Henry Ford. Or,to put it another way, actions speak louder than words. In the world of enterprise, an employee’s personal legacy is the sum of their contributions, large and small, adding up to a tangible marker of value. The right social recognition program provides a platform to celebrate, share, and infuse the corporate intranet with these success stories. It delivers a record of an employee’s greatest hits to date. Why is this important? Encouraging personal legacy through social recognition has a powerful ripple effect, one that propels enterprise success.
Monetary rewards are not the answer to recognizing and encouraging success, and can actually undermine motivation. Gadgets, trips, or other monetary incentives don’t make a lasting impression, or benefit the organization as a whole. In contrast, the right social recognition program allows employees to define a personal legacy – their imprint within the organization. It tells the story of their ‘sum total of works’ as an employee, and facilitates growth and development.
In this presentation, TemboSocial’s David Bator will outline how non-monetary, peer-to-peer social recognition pays. David will share case study examples of how leading organizations are leveraging social tools in their social recognition programs. David will demonstrate that recognition is a currency that has extraordinary value to your knowledge workers.
David will also share how leveraging the transformational power of social media organizations can change how they motivate and retain employees and how their company can celebrate successes and reinforce corporate culture and values.

Creating Meaningful and Sustainable Gains in Employee Engagement
Presenters:
Paul Marciano (Whiteboard, LLC)
Over the past decade employee engagement has received much attention and been linked to increased productivity and profitability; improved customer service and safety compliance; psychological and physical well-being; and reduced turnover and absenteeism. Unfortunately, several factors have limited the understanding and measurement of engagement, and, more importantly, our ability to impact this critical construct in a way that makes a meaningful difference to organizations.
Regrettably, organizations continue to waste resources on traditional reward and recognition programs that are not only ineffective but actually lead to an overall decrease in employee morale and productivity. Forty years of research provides overwhelming evidence to support this claim. Amazingly, consulting firms and web-based platforms continue to offer such services with no evidence of a positive ROI for organizations.
Internationally acclaimed author, speaker, and business psychologist Dr. Paul Marciano shares his proprietary RESPECT Model. Detailed in his book: “Carrots and Sticks Don’t Work: Build a Culture of Employee Engagement with the Principles of RESPECT” (McGraw-Hill), Dr. Paul will discuss the RESPECT Model and its seven underlying drivers. He will provide specific, turn key strategies to increase and sustain employee engagement.
Specifically, this presentation will:
• Define employee engagement and distinguish it from motivation
• Explain why traditional reward and recognition programs damage employee morale
• Expose the widespread use of invalid measurement techniques
• Offer a measure of engagement that actually measures engagement
• Address the critical role of organizational culture
• Present the internationally acclaimed RESPECT Model
• Discuss specific strategies to impact the RESPECT Drivers that lead to immediate and enduring behavioral changes that impact employee engagement
This presentation is intended to help the human resource professional, supervisor, manager, or small business owner seeking practical and effective methods to increase the ROI of their human capital.

This session will educate human resource professionals on the benefits of rewarding employees with relevant and desirable rewards to influence behavior and generate desired results. Discover how to drive engagement by designing a rewards and recognition program that speaks to all generations of employees. The key to engaging employees is to differentiate your program offerings and make reward options aspirational yet attainable.

This session will uncover techniques for identifying service awards, peer-to-peer, and spot recognition, while describing the key elements to building a successful employee recognition program.
