At WebMD Health Services, we go beyond points and rewards.
Rewards can spark a first step, but lasting well-being takes more. We pair a dedicated Client Success Team,
guided behavior change, inclusive engagement at scale and trusted, secure guidance to keep people moving forward.
Our dedicated Client Success Team keeps engagement alive.
With low client-to-account ratios and dedicated roles, including a Strategic Account Executive and Client Success Manager, we partner with you end-to-end, from onboarding through execution and ongoing optimization, so your program stays fresh and engaging over time.
Our guided model drives sustainable behavior change.
We help people understand why their health matters and provide credible guidance and ongoing engagement. That focus builds lasting change rather than participation that fades once incentives lose their appeal or the leaderboard resets.
We engage every population—inclusively and at scale.
We meet people where they are with behaviorally driven communications and outreach, reaching harder-to-engage and non-desk populations. There’s no requirement for wearables, screenings or high-effort challenges for employees to see value.
Our platform is stable, trusted and secure.
Backed by HIPAA-compliant infrastructure and strong data security, our platform pairs consistency with clear communication. We spare employers and employees the disruption of platform transitions.
Our solutions are designed to drive behavior change and long-term engagement.
WebMD Health Services delivers scalable, personalized solutions that help employees build healthy habits,
take meaningful action and sustain well-being improvements.
