Incentive trips are rewards that companies grant, either to a team member or to the entire workforce, when a business success or objective has been achieved.
They are also an increasingly popular MICE alternative among today's motivation strategies. Extraordinary results are achieved in terms of productivity and team cohesion — one of the reasons incentive trips are on everyone's radar.
Employee trips, within the corporate incentive segment, are on the rise. What's more, the average spend per attendee has increased considerably, with companies seeing that the return on their investment sits at around 200%.
Rewarding is the philosophy of incentive trips. Their design must therefore start from the premises of exclusivity and fun so that employees feel special — which is where creative entertainment and standout team building come in.
The incentive trip may be one of the most effective systems for building employee loyalty, but the collateral benefits are numerous: fostering and understanding company values, department cohesion, improved corporate image, increased productivity, sales promotion, and more.
Because incentive trips reward the achievements employees have earned, or seek to motivate them to reach objectives, they make the workforce proud to work for your company.
If you are still unsure where to start before planning an incentive trip, at CREA Group we offer a few pointers.
First, you must consider the date on which you will schedule the trip, without losing sight of your business needs.
Next, it is worth determining the trip's duration, a destination in line with the company's and the team's values, as well as the type of activities or services to be booked — from a well-chosen venue to the right on-site experience.
Finally, and to make sure we get the best results, we recommend turning to expert organisers of corporate events and MICE tourism activities.
At CREA Group we take care of all the arrangements without losing sight of your business's requirements, and as a DMC in Barcelona we know every destination. Call us and get in touch with CREA Group to plan an incentive trip tailored to you!
