The Power of Financial Incentives

Too Good to Be True?

No, it's not.

HealthyWage makes money from corporate and government clients who are interested in creative solutions to weight loss. In addition, although financial incentives are great weight loss tools, people sometimes lose their weight loss bet.

The question is: will HealthyWage make money from you, or will you make money from HealthyWage?
