Since human beings are purposeful in nature, incentives serve as added purpose in organizations to motivate employees to achieve better results. In today's world incentives are offered mainly in terms of money or gifts, however can there be an alternative, which will not serve the need of purpose but also help in employee satisfaction.
Outdoor or adventure travel and sports can work as an alternate for monetary incentive. Employee satisfaction is one of the keystones in today's world for any organization which wish to grow at a steady rate and retain its key talent. Most of the adventure allows having sense of achievement either in form of crossing a river or climbing mountain and hunting for the ultimate game. Adventure travel outdoors is one of the greatest ways to help employees relieve everyday stress. You might be surprised at what you find, when you start looking for places to escape near where you live. When we live busy lives we may not be aware of National Parks surrounding us. Organizations do not need to spend huge sums of money for this. Maybe providing an extra day or two off so that employees have more time to relax, decompress, and let go of stress and anxiety, and return to work more peaceful and productive minds. Engaging in adventure sports such as rafting, trekking or climbing eliminates stress-causing adrenaline that contributes to anxiety or anxious states. This type of activity increases levels of adrenaline, endorphins and neurotransmitters, which instill a positive mood within people by decreasing tension and allowing them to loosen up.
Individuals suffering from stress find that participating in activities, such as adventure sports, makes individuals with low self-esteem feel better about themselves. People contribute individual talents and skills to a group accomplishment, which allows for a greater sense of self-worth. This feeling helps contribute to stress relief by focusing on a person's positive accomplishments within the game. People often set personal goals for games, such as how many points they will score or shots they will block. Reaching these goals fills a player with pride, which creates an emotional relief from anxiety and stress. In addition, participating in adventure sports on a regular basis allows individuals to stay in shape and feel physically fit, which adds to a person's positive outlook. This will help all employees to regain their morale and find out solutions to problems they have been facing at their work.
With most of employees now working away from home town, this can also act as great team bonding which will result in long term relation between employees and them staying longer in the organization. Monetary incentives are more likely to be spent on luxury items, where the satisfaction level will remain till the value of that item is not faded out. Whereas an outdoor incentive program will help the employee achieve satisfaction in terms of stress release and break from monotony of work.
