What is an incentive seminar ?

La coupole du C.I.D

Incent­ive sem­inars are cor­por­ate events that rep­res­ent a real source of motiv­a­tion for all par­ti­cipants. By organ­iz­ing an incent­ive sem­in­ar, a com­pany seeks to strengthen team cohe­sion and pro­mote exchanges through vari­ous activ­it­ies. This type of sem­in­ar is becom­ing increas­ingly pop­u­lar in France, as it also allows to reward and value the work of employees.

DEFINITION OF AN INCENTIVE SEMINAR

Incent­ive is a set of stim­u­la­tion tech­niques aimed at improv­ing and main­tain­ing the motiv­a­tion of a team or a group. Incent­ive sem­inars are organ­ized to share inform­a­tion, and are punc­tu­ated by fun activ­it­ies to motiv­ate and reward employ­ees. They are organ­ized out­side the com­pany, to allow par­ti­cipants to dis­con­nect from the usu­al work environment.

OBJECTIVES OF AN INCENTIVE SEMINAR

Man­agers can organ­ize an incent­ive sem­in­ar for sev­er­al reas­ons. From the com­pany’s point of view, this event can achieve sev­er­al objectives

  • Improve team cohesion
  • Com­mu­nic­ate the com­pany’s strategy
  • Improve employ­ee morale
  • Strengthen employ­ee loyalty
  • Increase pro­ductiv­ity
  • Obtain a bet­ter com­mu­nic­a­tion between employees

As you can see, the organ­iz­a­tion of an incent­ive sem­in­ar is an excel­lent way for a com­pany to motiv­ate its employ­ees while achiev­ing the object­ives men­tioned above. An incent­ive sem­in­ar also rep­res­ents a reward offered to the par­ti­cipants to value the vari­ous efforts made by them.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN INCENTIVE SEMINAR AND A TEAM BUILDING?

Team build­ing and incent­ive activ­it­ies both share a fun­da­ment­al char­ac­ter­ist­ic: motiv­at­ing employ­ees and teams.

If motiv­a­tion is the com­mon object­ive of these two types of cor­por­ate events, team-build­ing gen­er­ally pre­cedes incent­ive in the steps of val­or­iz­a­tion and motiv­a­tion of a team. It pre­pares teams to work bet­ter togeth­er. The team build­ing is indeed ori­ented on the fact of car­ry­ing out an activ­ity, to rein­force the team cohe­sion. This com­pany event allows to devel­op the links between the dif­fer­ent par­ti­cipants. A team build­ing activ­ity usu­ally takes place over half a day, or even a whole day.

An incent­ive sem­in­ar is often organ­ized to reward employ­ees for increased pro­ductiv­ity and good work per­form­ance. This cor­por­ate event allows to effect­ively retain employ­ees and rein­force their feel­ing of belong­ing to the com­pany. It usu­ally lasts sev­er­al days and usu­ally takes the form of a stay.

WHERE TO HOLD AN INCENTIVE SEMINAR?

The choice of the place for the organ­iz­a­tion of an incent­ive sem­in­ar is decis­ive for its suc­cess: make sure to select the des­tin­a­tion in accord­ance with your object­ives and your con­straints (budget, travel time, activ­it­ies that can be car­ried out on site…).

YOUR ECO-FRIENDLY EVENT IN NORMANDY

Opt for a city with easy access

It is import­ant that the chosen loc­a­tion is eas­ily access­ible for the dif­fer­ent employ­ees of the com­pany. A city well served by pub­lic trans­port­a­tion will have a sig­ni­fic­ant advant­age in the final decision. Your guests should not have dif­fi­culty access­ing the ven­ue, as this will inev­it­ably impact the over­all sem­in­ar experience.
