26 Jul 10 Themed Events, Colors, and Relaxation Are All Important Aspects to Consider
Companies do not have to ensure that all meetings and events are completely bland and uninteresting, even if that does have a certain old-guard appeal. Instead, consider the possibility that meetings can have elements of a party and that events could be given a theme to follow. The following ideas are not necessarily appropriate for all businesses at all times, but they may just make the daily grind a little less stressful for some:
• Holidays can be fun – Holidays can be fun, but do not go overboard. Not everyone seems to agree that celebrating holidays is fun, and some people seem more interested in complaining about cultural and religious influences than they do on having a good time. Colored napkins and other basic items that lack iconography could be appropriate and thematic.
• Colors for other purposes – There are many different non-holiday applications for colors as well. Colors can be chosen by departments or as part of promotions, and placing those colors everywhere can help build a sense of visual continuity.
• Events – Remember to take a break from the norm and relax a little bit. Some companies have discovered that short rest periods built into meetings or other events actually improve productivity instead of taking away from productivity as one might normally assume.

24 May 10 Spa Packages as Incentives
Meetings at luxurious resorts and hotels are the type of travel incentives many employers use to motivate their employees. While staying at a top-quality resort is an excellent incentive in itself, employers may want to consider adding a spa package as an additional motivational factor. Spa treatments are truly an indulgence that most people cannot afford on a regular basis.
Spa packages are usually relegated to special holidays or events. Therefore, providing employees the opportunity to earn unique travel incentives that include a spa package is an excellent idea. Employers may be surprised at the response of employees to this type of incentive.
Spa packages as an addition to incentive travel do not have to break the bank. Employers may even want to consider simply adding a spa package as an option. This may be the best route for employers to take as all employees will not utilize the spa incentive. Spa packages may includes things such as facials, massages, or signature spa treatments.
Purchasing optional spa packages for employees is just another way employers can show their gratitude for the employee's dedication and hard work. When incentive travel is memorable, employees will be inclined to increase productivity levels in order to again be eligible for these special rewards.
