Your Attendees Want a Connection, and to Feel
Welcome
Although over-scheduling activities for an
incentive trip will take away the reward element,
attendees still want to feel connected to your
company and have options for activities. This is
especially important for the employees guests.
While you may only plan a few meetings or
receptions for an incentive trip, it is key to
provide suggestions and details on a variety of
other activities for attendees.

Incites Conversations
This type of incentive travel program utilizes
the top ranked achievers as conversation starters
and encourages them to be mouthpieces of the
program and the companys objectives. Theyre
also encouraged to take to, or are chosen because
of their social media connection and ability to
use the medium to promote the company and the
programs objectives.

Act Like The Winners
This type of incentive travel program revolves
around educating all participants on how to
think, behave, and perform like a winner
typically through the sharing of best practices.
It acknowledges that winners do in fact act and
behave differently, and wants to share the
behaviors with all participants. It gives them
the motivation to continue performing well in the
future because it recognizes their merit, and it
motivates other participants to perform this way
too because they want to be the ones recognized
next time.

Have a Goal
Although an incentive program may have a more
flexible schedule and less scheduled activities,
dont forget the all-important step of setting a
goal! It is still important to identify what you
want attendees to leave with, whether that be new
knowledge, a fresh outlook on the company, or
simply to come back to work feeling rested and
enthusiastic. Keep the goal in mind related to
any events you actually schedule.
