Research / IRF Webinar: Incentive Travel Toolkit and the Budgeting for Recognition Toolkit
by Incentive Research Foundation
The IRF recently released two toolkits full of resources that can help you plan, manage, and explain the benefits of specific types of incentive programs. During our next IRF webinar, we’ll discuss the Incentive Travel Toolkit and the Budgeting for Recognition Toolkit, why incentive travel programs and recognition programs are more important than ever. Whether you are looking to establish new programs or re-justify existing one, these toolkits contain the resources, guides, tips, research, and insights needed to get underway.

Our panel discussed how channel incentive programs differ from employee incentives, how they influence partner engagement and pipeline movement, and what metrics help justify investment decisions.
