by Incentive Research Foundation
During this webinar, we examine the incentives industry’s response to COVID-19 and recovery plans. Stephanie Harris, IRF President, and Allan Schweyer, Chief Academic Advisor, will discuss key findings and actionable takeaways from the newly released study, COVID-19 and Disruption in the Incentive Travel, Meetings and Events Industry. They will review threats to running incentive programs, including COVID-19, weather, travel hazards, politics, economic downturns. With a focus on the impact of COVID-19 on the industry, they will discuss actionable advice collected from industry leaders for the study on how to rebuild incentive programs through strategic collaborations with clients, participants, hotels and resorts, DMCs, and partners.
The study explores the importance of designing programs that foster timely, frequent, sincere, and consistent recognition that drives employee engagement and satisfaction.
This report explores the perception and priorities around sustainability from the perspective of European incentive program designers, third parties, hotels, corporate leadership, and incentive travel participants.
