Incentive in Paris: reward your teams in the Paris region
A company’s dynamic performance depends on high-performing, happy and committed teams. These key elements are not the fruit of chance, but rather the result of enlightened management. The spirit of challenge, collaboration and cohesion are all pillars that need to be carefully cultivated. Incentive activities enable you to maintain a high level of performance, but also to strengthen cohesion, encourage identification with the company and build loyalty among your employees. Recognising effort, rewarding success and nurturing an environment conducive to excellence are all strategies that keep you on course to achieve ambitious goals. The Île-de-France region, and Paris in particular, offers an exceptional setting for organising incentive activities. In this article, we guide you through the best practices for getting the most out of your teams in and around Paris.
Incentive versus team building or seminar
The annual seminar is a time for cohesion, where the performance of certain departments can be highlighted. Incentive, on the other hand, is an anglicism that translates as motivation. In this context, the incentive reward is understood as a privilege, a pleasant moment that recognises a job well done, a mission accomplished, a contract won or good commercial results. It’s an opportunity to thank and reward your staff (or your customers) with an exceptional, exclusive benefit, a pleasant surprise.
Unlike team building, which is more about bonding or improving the functioning of a team by getting them to take part in a group activity different from the one they usually do, incentives focus on individual or collective rewards, encouraging motivation and ongoing commitment.
In Paris or the Ile-de-France region, entrust your project to specialists
The incentive event must be pleasantly surprising, i.e. it must contain an element of surprise without putting employees in a situation of stress or fear. Calling in a specialist company such as WE ACTEAM will ensure that your event is tailor-made and totally in line with your values, objectives and budget. With 25 years’ expertise in organising corporate events, WE ACTEAM offers you high-quality support for all your projects.
Cultural, sporting, well-being or discovery events
Much more than a simple gift or bonus, organising an incentive in Paris gives pleasure and makes the person or group receiving it very proud. It’s a reward complemented by genuine recognition. The activities are designed to be carried out together, with the aim of strengthening the sense of belonging, sharing common values, building loyalty and encouraging exchanges.
Culture reinvented
Imagine the surprise and privilege for your employees of being invited to share an exceptional private tour of a museum, with a talented actor as their guide! Or perhaps you’d prefer to offer your teams the opportunity to make a film, to become actors or directors for a day? Whatever the experience you choose, these unique moments offer your employees the chance to make dreams come true and create unforgettable memories. All these events are possible, as long as you have the right contacts and know the environment to make the exceptional accessible. That’s why we recommend entrusting these projects to a specialist agency that can bring your boldest ideas to life. With their expertise and network, these professionals will be able to turn your concepts into memorable experiences.
Sport accessible to all
Attend a Paris Saint-Germain training session or a match at the Stade de France, followed by a meeting with the players? These unique experiences will stay with your employees for a long time. You can also immerse them for several days in the environment of a top sportsman or woman. The possibilities are numerous, as the capital offers an abundance of sporting activities.
Fun and relaxation
The main aim of an incentive event is to provide pleasure and make your employees feel privileged. Whether the activity is fanciful, like taking part in a pole dancing initiation followed by a massage at the top of a Parisian rooftop at sunset, or simply warm, like a sushi-making session with a top Japanese chef followed by a tasting, the principle remains the same: take part in an exceptional experience.
Rewarding your teams is more than just offering a gift or a profit-sharing bonus. Incentives go much further: they are a way of conveying and sharing values. By taking part in extraordinary activities together, your employees will create memories that will stay with them for a long time. These shared moments and the sensations they experience will strengthen the bonds that unite them over the long term, creating a sense of belonging and pride in your company.
