LYNDHURST, NJ—The following statement may be attributed to Michael Dermer, President and Chief Executive Officer of IncentOne, to mark the occasion of National Employee Health & Fitness Day™:

Achieving and maintaining health goals is one of the most important tasks a person can undertake—and, unfortunately, one of the most difficult. Today, on National Employee Health and Fitness Day™, we are reminded that employers can be a positive influence on employee behavior. Employers are uniquely positioned to help their workers achieve health, fitness, and wellness goals that will improve quality of life, save health care dollars, and boost employee productivity and morale. The use of targeted incentives to achieve these goals is growing more common, as employees take advantage of the extra ‘nudge’ to do what they usually wanted to do anyway. We applaud American employers who are taking steps to ensure the health and fitness of their employees.
