The Nightmare of Incentive Trips

Incentive trips can lead to disastrous outcomes when they lack foresight and proper planning. An example discussed involved a sales team winning a trip to a casino that required them to travel over 20 hours with no hotel accommodations. This situation created a raucous environment, where team members engaged in excessive partying without the necessary limitations. Such poorly organized events highlight the potential pitfalls of corporate incentives, illustrating the need for HR to be actively involved in planning and mitigating the ensuing chaos.
