The Impact Of An Offsite Adventure On Your Bottom Line
In every stage of an organization’s development, happy and motivated employees are the secret to success. Compensation, benefits, vacation time, incentives, and ‘work perks’ (just to name a few) are all vital elements of retaining top talent. While many of these items can be handled at ‘home base’ (the office), it is also imperative that you nurture your employees’ abilities outside of the office to maintain your growth trajectory.
The impact of the following 3 offsite experiences will have a positive effect on a company’s bottom line and can be easily implemented:
- Time Off
- Company Contests & Rewards
- Work Perks
Time Off: Offering flexibility in the workplace is the digital age is becoming more and more common. This includes both time off and the ability to work remote. Engineers work from the comfort of their own home, sales reps work on-the-go, and IT guys work ‘night shifts’ from their vacation home halfway across the world. Offering enough time off will promote work-life balance and demonstrate to your employees that you care about them.
Contests, Rewards, & Incentives: Companies are accustomed to creating contests to amp-up their salesforce, but contests (or other incentives) can also be powerful motivators for other departments as well. The importance of keeping your employees motivated is evident, and it is proven that rewards and incentives drive increased productivity. A motivated workforce is a powerful workforce!
Work Perks: Great organizations work to keep their employees happy! Creating a company culture that aims at incentivizing employees will help unify a team and retain workers. Bonuses, break time, and vacation opportunities are just a few ways that many companies have found success. The right combination of incentives, rewards, and perks will keep employees happy and help them to be more productive.
