The benefits of motivating employees through incentive travel

A happy and motivated workforce is crucial to the success of any business.  One of the biggest challenges faced by managers today, is identifying the most effective methods of incentivising your team in order to achieve and exceed your business goals.

With so many methods to incentivise; cash bonuses; healthcare; additional leave; memberships; gifts etc. It can be difficult to pin point which method of incentivisation is the most effective in motivating your employees.

As is can be seen 87.5% of participants of incentive travel said the experience made them feel more appreciated, whilst 80% of participants said it increased their feeling of loyalty towards the company which aids in employee retention.
