4 Employee Incentive Ideas to Motivate Your Team

Friends day out

One of the biggest challenges faced by employers is how to keep your staff happy, bonded and motivated.

The worst situation you can have at your company is if employees are just turning up and going through the motions without putting any real drive into their work.

Offering incentive opportunities is a great way to keep things fresh and ensure your staff members are continually striving to hit their specific targets.

Here are some ideas for incentive offers to help motivate your staff.

1. Sports hospitality

Offering employees the opportunity to attend one of the many top level sporting events happening throughout the UK is sure to act as a positive incentive.

Sports hospitality will always include the specific sporting event, but will also offer a first class meal prior to kick off and some form of entertainment in the corporate areas following the conclusion of the action.

For sports enthusiasts within the company, the possibility of seeing one of the top Premier League football teams or an international event in top quality hospitality areas with great levels of service is sure to create a huge incentive to hit their targets.

2. Hospitality at music events

The potential to enjoy hospitality at music events throughout the UK will act as a positive incentive for employees.

In the summer months your staff can enjoy a full day of a music festival in the corporate hospitality area, whereas in the winter you can opt for the option of hospitality at sell out gig at an arena close by.

For music lovers within your ranks, this could well give them that added bit of drive your business needs to grow.

3. Cultural Events

Would a trip wine tasting entice your employees to put in the extra yard?

Would a corporate evening on the waterfront at Windsor Castle, the Shard or a trip to Taste of London help them push past their next target?

Sometimes it pays to think outside the box a little and really show your staff their true value to the business.

4. Participative Outdoor Events

Part of offering these kinds of trips as an incentive for your staff is to maintain work levels, but the actual trip can also be a valuable bonding exercise for different teams within the company and the business as a whole.

Team exercises like paintballing are always successful, as are 4×4 off-road driving experiences, military driving days or Go Ape adventure courses are always a lot of fun.

Is it also highly recommended to ask your staff what they like and for any ideas they might have!
