So many companies these days are discovering the wisdom in recognizing top performers through an incentive travel program. One of the benefits of having this in place is to keep an edge over competing businesses that may want to pirate your people or go after the same job applicants. If all of you offered travel as an incentive, then you pretty much lose your edge. This doesn’t have to be the case. It all goes back to quality. You need to make sure that your incentive travel program is much better than those of your rivals. You also need to keep your employees excited, which means topping last year’s offer with a much better one. You can achieve this by partnering with an excellent company that specializes in incentive travels. Travel incentives have to keep up with the latest trends. You’d think that there are no fads when it comes to travel destinations, but this is not true. For instance, the Caribbean may have been the hotspot last year, but this year, it’s Patagonia. Of course, it’s not only about offering the most fashionable trips, it’s also about having a good grasp of the needs and aspirations of your employees in order to identify which things would appeal to them, something that would definitely come in handy in putting together itineraries. When choosing the agency to handle your travel incentives, you need to make sure that you’re dealing with experts of considerable experience in the travel industry. They should be able to assist you whether you want to send your employees on a safari in Africa or an Alaskan cruise. Beyond selecting your destination and making such a trip happen for your company, they should also be able to help you craft your incentive program in such a way that allows you to better understand what would succeed in motivating and engaging your employees. In any case, whatever aspect of a program you may want to focus on or whatever concern you may have, they would serve as knowledgeable and insightful consultants so that you can find out what you need to know in various relevant subject matters, from travel trends to new regulations, etc. Incentives can be your way to connect more solidly with your top employees, so make sure that you go above and beyond in showing your appreciation. Retention is an important part of your company’s success, so keep your employees happy by having an excellent incentive program.
"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."
