Essentials is designed to help companies launch quickly and simply with foundational wellness tools like challenges, preventive care, and assessments. Engage goes further; it’s built for organizations that want the highest participation rates, broader activity options, and more advanced reporting.
Engage Offers:
- 60%+ monthly participation rates
- Expanded activities across all nine pillars of wellness
- Deeper analytics and customizable reporting for HR teams
- Scalability across multiple worksites, diverse employee groups, and larger populations
If Essentials is about launching with impact, Engage is about scaling participation and maximizing ROI.
Engage supports far more than gym stipends. Employees can earn incentives for dozens of activities, all verified automatically through 60+ apps and wearables. This flexibility ensures everyone (whether they prefer gyms, outdoor exercise, or at-home workouts) can participate.
Examples include:
- Gym visits and fitness classes
- Running, walking, cycling, and hiking
- At-home workouts, yoga, and strength training
- Activity minutes tracked through connected wearables
This flexibility makes it easy to build a program that works for gym-goers, outdoor enthusiasts, and employees who prefer working out at home.
Preventive care is one of the most valuable ways to improve employee health and reduce employer healthcare costs. Engage allows you to incentivize:
- Annual physicals and biometric screenings
- Dental and vision exams
- Vaccinations (e.g., flu shots, COVID boosters)
- Cancer screenings (mammograms, colonoscopies, etc.)
All activities are verified, and aggregate reporting helps you see completion trends across your population.
Wellness challenges are one of the most effective ways to make wellness fun, social, and competitive. Engage comes with a library of pre-built challenges that HR can launch in minutes.
- Step challenges (individual or team-based)
- Hydration challenges
- Mindfulness streaks (e.g., daily meditation)
- Gratitude journaling or social wellness challenges
SmartEngage grouping ensures fairness by matching employees at similar fitness levels. This way, everyone can participate meaningfully and stay motivated, whether they’re just starting out or already active.
The Engage Health Assessment gives both employees and HR meaningful insights without being intrusive.
- For employees: A 10-minute digital survey covering physical, mental, and lifestyle health. Results are private, HIPAA-compliant, and accessible only to the individual.
- For employers: Aggregate-level reports only (never individual data) that show:
- Health trends across your population
- Year-over-year improvements
- Areas to target for wellness programming
This allows HR teams to measure impact, set priorities, and show leadership how wellness connects to business outcomes.
One of the biggest advantages of Engage is its low administrative lift. Once configured, the program essentially runs itself:
- Rewards and reimbursements are automated
- Activity verification happens in the background
- Dashboards provide real-time participation and ROI data
On average, HR admins spend less than 15 minutes per week managing the program, compared to hours per week with manual stipends or homegrown wellness initiatives.
Engage includes robust, automated reporting so HR leaders can measure impact with confidence. Dashboards and reports cover:
- Participation rates by activity type
- Preventive care completion trends
- Incentive spend vs. budget
- Population health improvements year-over-year
Reports are exportable and presentation-ready, making it easy to share ROI with executives and show progress over time.
Data privacy is core to Engage. We comply with HIPAA and industry best practices to keep health data secure.
- Encryption of all health data in transit and at rest
- Reporting limited to aggregate population data
- Strict access controls for HR admins
- Regular security audits and compliance checks
Employees can trust their data is safe, while employers get the insights they need to drive outcomes.
Very. Engage was built with flexibility in mind so employers can reach employees across locations, shifts, and lifestyles. Admins decide:
- Which activities to incentivize (fitness, nutrition, preventive care, volunteering, etc.)
- What incentive types to offer (payroll, HSA, PTO, gift cards)
- Rules around participation, verification, and payouts
Employees then choose the activities and rewards that best fit their lifestyle. This balance of structured flexibility drives stronger workplace wellness participation.
Engage supports a wide range of employee wellness incentives so companies can design a strategy that fits both budget and culture.
- Payroll (most popular)
- Direct deposit
- PTO
- Premium offsets or HSA contributions
- Digital gift cards
- Merchandise mall
- Charitable donations
Employers decide which incentives to enable, and employees choose what motivates them. This flexibility is one of the reasons Engage consistently sees participation rates of 60%+, compared to the industry norm of 30%.
Yes. Engage was designed to fit into existing systems without creating extra admin work.
- 60+ wearables and apps (Fitbit, Apple Watch, Garmin, Strava, MyFitnessPal, etc.)
- Payroll providers for seamless payouts
- HRIS and SSO systems like ADP, Workday, and Okta
- Custom APIs for enterprise clients
This ensures employees have a smooth experience, and HR doesn’t have to manage multiple disconnected systems.
