INCENTIVE SYSTEMS – CONCEPTION, SOFTWARE + FULL SERVICE
Retain your employees and present yourself as an attractive employer.
Incentive can be translated most aptly with incentive or stimulus, but in a broader sense also with motivation, impulse or reward. In “business German”, incentive stands for measures, benefits or gifts designed to increase employee motivation.
The idea behind incentive systems is also employee retention and their loyalty to the company. Thus, incentives can also contribute to strengthening the employer brand (keyword: employer branding).
Incentives play a particularly important role in the field sales force to motivate salespeople to conclude more deals. Incentives can also be used to reward and motivate particularly successful employees or even entire teams.
To be effective, however, they must be exceptions and not the rule. It is therefore crucial to obtain detailed information about the advantages and disadvantages of the various possibilities for employee incentives in order to find an appropriate solution.
Possible goals for your incentive system
For the success of your incentive program it is crucial which condition you attach to the grant. Clarify at the outset which goals you want to achieve with the incentive. However, this also means that some people will benefit from the incentive in question. Others will not.
Incentives that are distributed according to the “same for all” method do not reach the employees who are in your focus specifically enough. On top of that, you are throwing a lot of money out the window with this watering can method.
Realisable effects
With the selection of the incentive you control which further effects you achieve. For example, an event as an incentive for a successful project team can further strengthen cooperation, networking and team cohesion. With appropriately selected restaurant vouchers, on the other hand, you contribute to the health of your employees.
Incentive vouchers
The incentive voucher is one of the most popular forms of incentive. It is used less often as an effective incentive for performance in advance and fulfils its purpose more as a reward for special commitment and achieved success. However, the expectation of the incentive recipient to receive a voucher again if he or she once again achieves outstanding performance nevertheless creates a valuable and usable incentive for the future.
Conclusion: If an incentive system is successful, it can contribute massively to the economic goals of your company.
