PROGRAM APPLICATIONS
Individual travel awards are remarkably flexible and easy to use! They are effective in driving performance improvement in a wide variety of incentive, rewards and recognition programs, involving both sales and non-sales personnel.
Recognizing the motivational power of travel, individual travel awards may be used to recognize performance and achieve pre-determined goals with the following type of programs:
- Sales incentives (direct and channel)
- Non-sales employee recognition
- Employee productivity
- Recruitment
- Retention / turnover reduction
- Human Resources length of service awards
- Loyalty, frequency, and referral awards
- Wellness incentives
- Safety awards
- Cost reduction / suggestion
- Attendance / absenteeism
- Customer rewards
Individual travel awards work well …
- as on-the-spot rewards for immediate recognition
- with multi-tier programs between group travel (the top tier) and merchandise (the bottom tier)
- with spurt programs when an extra boost is needed mid-way through a longer incentive program
- when program participants are offered a similar-value choice between merchandise or travel
- when the number of participants is too small to justify a group travel program, but the corporate sponsor still wishes to offer travel as the award.
Today the industry also is seeing individual travel awards offered as a positive alternative to a group travel award when participants can’t travel on the group travel dates, or when the corporate sponsor wishes to avoid the media scrutiny of a group incentive travel program.
