Shore Incentives Case Study Insurance Industry

Case Study: Manufacturing Industry

Client Description: Manufacturing company employing over 1,000 people.

Challenge: The client had a longstanding relationship with Shore Incentives for their business and incentive travel needs. However, due to budgeting concerns, their incentives budget was slashed almost in half. The company was faced with needing to keep its employees motivated while maintaining a high standard incentive travel program deserving of its best employees.

Decision: The client worked with Shore Incentives to make some subtle changes that would not affect the quality of the program.

Solution: Without having to change the program's content, the first changes were made with regards to the timing of the trip. The dates were moved to a shoulder season and included a Saturday evening stay which lowered both airfare and hotel costs. Utilizing the buying power of Shore Incentives, the client scheduled their trip immediately following another trip that Shore Incentives was managing at the same resort. Changes that did occur within the program's content included using theme restaurants instead of function halls that needed to have rented equipment. Additionally, cost was eliminated from the budget by using electronic correspondence (i.e., invitations, hotel information, registration, agenda updates, confirmations, etc.) as opposed to printing costs.

Program Details: The incentives travel program was a way for the company to reward their hardest working and most productive employees and their spouse/guest. Therefore, most of the programs details involved recreation, sightseeing and pampering. Shore Incentives also provided an awards dinner for the employees as they were honored for their efforts throughout the year.

Program Highlights:

Golf tournaments
Sailing excursions
Spa treatments
Sightseeing tours
Water sport coordination (scuba diving, para-sailing, etc.)
Awards Dinner
Themed dinners and parties at local restaurants

Services Provided:

Project management
Incentives coordination

Budget projection and monitoring
On-line registration and correspondence

Results: The employees were treated to five days of luxury, fun and sun and were never aware of any cut corners or changes. Several of the employees had been on the incentive trips before and commented on the spectacular planning of this particular trip, never the wiser of budget constraints.
