In this day and age, we are all aware of how important it is to keep a team of employees engaged with our brand or company. Especially after the outbreak of the accursed c-word and what has become known as The Great Resignation.
Today, if an employee's needs are not met, they do not settle but look for a place where they can feel fulfilled beyond a salary. Although many of those who resign are looking for better conditions in that regard, more than two-thirds want an environment in which personal and professional fulfillment, well-being, understanding, and work-life balance prevail.
That is why employers should look for benefits and rewards that keep their teams satisfied so that everything to do with their work and productivity goes smoothly. The challenge here is to find benefits that really work, and today we are suggesting a game changer, something that never fails: travel.
Here are five reasons why rewarding your employees with travel is a good idea.
1. Less stress = better health
You heard it right: traveling reduces stress levels and has short-term and long-term health benefits for employees. So if you make it easier for your employees to travel, they will feel better, but that will also result in improving their performance at work, including fewer sick leaves.
2. Boost that productivity!
This one is pretty obvious, but still. Having the flexibility to spend time away from the office (or home office) increases productivity. Knowing that they have that time off, that something exciting is coming up, makes them make better use of the time they spend working and the hours dedicated to that are definitely more productive.
3. Better employees with a greater sense of empathy
The opportunity to travel enhances employees’ cultural understanding and enables them to empathize with other cultures, which has a positive impact on their work. And not only because it makes them more open to other cultures, but also because it makes them more willing to listen to and understand other colleagues, more accepting of diversity, and more open to the needs of others. As a result, relationships are improved and cooperation and teamwork are fostered.
4. Continuous improvement
It is not news that, in the workplace, a key element is motivation. Motivation is the engine that drives us to give our best every day, to want to improve ourselves and strive to do better. Well, travel incentives help keep employees motivated and encourage continuous improvement, which not only benefits them as individuals but also has a real positive impact on your brand or company.
5. Boost brand loyalty and retain talent!
And last but not least, it also helps with a major employer pain point, especially amid the Great Resignation: how to retain talent. Travel incentive programs help improve brand loyalty, which is largely explained by the sum of all of the above benefits: they keep employees engaged, happy, aligned with the company's values, and make them the best brand ambassadors. This consequently helps to retain talent. If an employee is happy, they are not going anywhere. Well… yes, they will be traveling a lot, but they will always come back!
