The Best Incentives of February

Sticking at a job isn’t as simple as getting the best pay. If it was, then surely footballers, who seem to change club every summer, would be one-club stalwarts - happy to kick around just to pick up their six-figure salaries.

But what is it exactly that makes an employee stay-put? Whilst fulfilment in their role is important, incentives and employee-minded perks are fast-becoming central to staff retainment.

Consider the recent British Airways strikes: the airline threatened to cut the perks and bonuses of striking staff in response to Union-backed industrial action.

It’s a perfect example of how important incentives are to employees that their employer threatened to take them away in attempts to break the recent strikes.
