“Through research we are able to provide deeper insights into why incentives are a vital business tool to drive desired behavior and positive performance resulting in definitive business results,” says stated Tina Weede, vice-president research and education, SITE Foundation.
It also reports that a CSR component is being included more and more in these programs.
Having recently collected an award on behalf of Crystal Events at the SITE Conference in Rotterdam, for “Exceptional Motivational Travel Program – Best in Class by Global Region”,we are also looking at other CSR components that can be incorporated into our programs and, as can be expected, there are many different deserving projects that would benefit from such help.
From supporting a local Surfing School set up for kids from the Rio favelas, planting trees with local children in Panama to help the local community, and building bikes and donating them to children in Vietnam – there are many different ways to ensure your incentive travel program has an impact on your delegates, your company and a worthy cause.
