A Houston-based energy company was struggling with its retention rates. Employee training was long, expensive, and tedious, with the entire process taking over three months. Grueling work hours only exacerbated the problem. Employees worked 14 days on and then received only two days off. In a regular workweek, workers would often clock significant hours in overtime work. Subsequently, the company had difficulty keeping highly skilled employees and was battling a high turnover rate. The situation was having a huge impact on the company’s bottom line, as the cost of replacing a worker was over 2.5 times his or her annual salary.
The company wanted to keep its employees. However, leaders also recognized that the job was demanding and stressful and wanted to help the employees rest and relax on a well-deserved vacation to thank them for all of their hard work. Peak Performance was able to help the company institute a yearly retention incentive and substantially decrease the company’s turnover rate. Once an employee had worked with company for a full year, he or she was given a $2,000 travel incentive. Peak Performance provided a range of suggested destinations to help give employees travel ideas. However, employees were totally free to travel to any destination of their choosing. The only stipulation was that employees had to spend the voucher on travel. The company only paid for the travelers and only paid once trips were booked.
Thanks to the program, employees were able to enjoy vacations in a variety of destinations. They hit the slopes on ski vacations, spent weekends partying in Las Vegas, caught baseball games and basketball games in their favorite teams’ home city, took family trips to other parts of Texas, and enjoyed relaxing Caribbean cruises. Many of the employees had never traveled before, so it was a totally new experience for them. Peak Performance’s travel staff helped them step-by-step through the process, from finding a destination to booking airline tickets and hotels and sending documents and luggage tags. They helped employees navigate through the process of checking in at a hotel, picking up a rental car, and checking in at an airport. The program was a resounding success and lasted for three full years before being discontinued due to a company merger. Employees were happier, and retention rates improved. To this day, the company continues to offer $10,000 travel vouchers for recognition of 10 years of service.
The Peak Performance yearly incentive program can work to improve your company’s retention rate. You can pick the voucher dollar amount — there are no minimums.

"I've been working with Bruce and his team on two projects and they've been great to work with. Bruce has helped us set up a referral/incentive program for us to roll out with our clients and strategic partners. Bruce was great to work with. He's set up a 7 tier program that allows for flexibility and he's also helped us to market the program."
"Beverly arranged and managed the early Envivio Sales incentive trips for us. Each of our events was an outstanding and motivating experience Our Sales team appreciated the attention to detail and to fun. Qualifying for the "trip" was a motivating factor behind many end of year sales pushes. I will use Beverly again in the future."
