Frequently asked questions
Empower is IncentFit’s most comprehensive wellness solution. It combines personalized wellness guidance, incentives, assessments, and reporting into one connected program.
- Personalized health incentives and action plans

Empower is designed for organizations that want a more personalized wellness experience while still keeping program management simple for HR.
Empower implementation can move at the pace that works best for your team. Because Empower includes more personalization, assessments, incentives, and configuration options, most launches take more time than Essentials or Engage.
Most companies launch Empower within 2–8 weeks, depending on program complexity, internal review timelines, data setup, eligibility rules, reward fulfillment needs, and any integrations required.
Implementation is organized into five phases to keep the process clear and manageable:
- Phase 1: Kickoff and planning
- Phase 2: Program design and configuration
- Phase 3: Data, eligibility, and reward setup
- Phase 4: Testing, review, and admin training
- Phase 5: Employee launch and ongoing support
Teams can choose between a guided implementation with support from the IncentFit team or a more self-directed setup process, depending on how hands-on they want the experience to be.
Essentials helps organizations launch a simple wellness foundation. Engage expands participation with more ways for employees to get involved. Empower goes further by adding a more personalized wellness experience for each employee.
Empower is a strong fit for organizations that want:
- Personalized action plans based on employee goals, assessments, or biometric data
- A more comprehensive wellness experience across multiple health areas
- Fitness rewards, challenges, preventive care incentives, and personal goals in one program
- More advanced health insights and population-level reporting
- A wellness program that can grow and evolve with a broader benefits strategy
If Engage is about increasing participation, Empower is about creating a more personalized path for each employee.
Empower uses employee goals, health assessment responses, biometric information, and program participation data to support a more personalized wellness experience.
For example, one employee may receive guidance related to physical activity or blood pressure, while another may focus on sleep, nutrition, mindfulness, or stress management. Employees can work toward goals that feel relevant to them, while employers receive aggregate insights to guide future wellness planning.
Individual results remain private and are not shared with employers.
Empower supports a wide range of reward fulfillment options, so employers can choose the approach that fits their benefits strategy, budget, and employee population.
- Payroll integration
- Direct deposit
- HSA/HRA contributions
- Premium offsets
- Merchandise and gift card mall rewards
- Charitable donations
- Paid time off
- Third-party points systems
Employers choose which reward options to make available, and employees can use the incentives in ways that feel meaningful to them.
Empower supports a wide range of fitness and wellness activities so employees can participate in ways that fit their routine, preferences, and ability level.
- Gym visits and fitness classes
- Walking, running, cycling, and hiking
- At-home workouts, yoga, and strength training
- Activity minutes tracked through connected devices or apps
- Manual activity logging through the mobile app or web portal
- Document submissions for activities that require proof of completion
This flexibility makes it easier to build a program that works for gym-goers, outdoor enthusiasts, remote employees, and people who prefer everyday movement.
Empower includes reporting tools that help admins understand program performance, participation, and population-level health trends over time.
- Participation by activity type
- Health assessment and biometric trends
- Preventive care completion trends
- Reward and incentive spend
- Year-over-year changes in aggregate health data, when applicable
- Exportable reports for internal review
These reports help HR teams monitor progress, manage budgets, and share program impact with leadership without exposing individual employee health information.
IncentFit uses privacy and security safeguards to help protect employee health and wellness information.
- Health data is protected in transit and at rest
- Employers only see aggregate population-level reporting
- Individual employee results are not shared with employers
- Access controls help limit who can view admin data
Employees keep control of their personal health information, while employers get the high-level insights they need to manage the program responsibly.
Empower is designed to reduce day-to-day management for HR, even with a more comprehensive wellness program. Once the program is configured, many of the ongoing tasks happen automatically.
- Reward fulfillment can be automated
- Activity tracking and verification happen in the background
- Dashboards make it easy to monitor participation and incentive spend
- Reports help teams share progress with leadership
- Employees can manage much of their experience through self-service tools
Instead of relying on spreadsheets, manual tracking, or one-off employee follow-up, HR can use Empower to manage a more personalized wellness program with less manual work.
