I have always been a high mileage driver and like many drivers, I have my favourite fuel stations. 

I have been talking to a great friend of mine, who works in sales, and as we all know the last couple of years have not been brilliant for retail and business sales. Over the last couple of months, huge pressure has been applied to the sales team to close business for the year-end and this is not landing well, as there is no incentive to do so (positive reward and recognition), just a daily rant and a weekly name and shame on calls, appointments, and orders. 

Reward and Recognition are central to employee engagement, and any employee engagement solution must deliver measurable improvement in business performance. Sales teams are the lifeblood of any successful business and motivating them to perform at their best is crucial for the growth and success of a company. 

The future of incentive trips is understandably exercising the event industry at the moment and there are some great ideas on how to transform the traditional incentive trip/awards night into an engaging virtual experience.
