Incentive travel is increasingly becoming the motivator of choice for businesses everywhere. More US companies are coming aboard every year and devoting more budget than ever to this line item. There are so many great reasons to deploy incentive travel to light fires in the bellies of your key people, but these 3 undeniable reasons to use incentive travel in 2017 are downright compelling.
Wise investment brings dividends and incentive travel is one of the wisest investments any company can make. With an ROI of $12.50 for every dollar spent, companies who get employees fired up with incentive travel reap enormous dividends. Cash incentives don’t have the same effect. While everyone loves having a little more money, cash sends a different message. It also lacks the advantage of creating an experience that employees can share with friends and family. That’s a key thought to keep in mind as you read on.
The growing “experience economy” is a prime mover in the incentive travel boom. More and more people value experiences as having intrinsic and lasting value. The same is true of your employees. Creating travel incentives which offer your people a unique, one-off experience they’ve been dreaming of gets their attention. Once the incentive has been experienced, employees return to talk to other employees, spreading the incentivizing love throughout your enterprise. An experience is forever. It remains in the mind and enriches people’s lives. The effect in your organization is an increase in loyalty and that means reduced turnover and retaining your brightest and best.
