Mover Incentive Programs

Mover Incentive Programs

Mover incentive programs are a difficult to make work. Putting one in place can benefit your company or hurt it. First consider what behaviors you want to reward such as

  • Employee’s Longevity, or Number of Moves Completed
  • Perfect attendance
  • Customer Care and Positive reviews
  • Damage free moving

Rewarding your movers through recognition, money, extra paid vacation, etc can help boost the moral within the company, as well as encourage good traits.  However you need to think about the potential positives and negatives of the incentives. If your try to reward people completing jobs fast then your damage claim percentage will most likely rise from a typical 3% per year to 6-10% or higher. Rewarding for damage free might cause people to shift blame on damages to newer employees or cause near fist fights.

The key is people like to be noticed and rewarded for their work. Doing so will help reinforce positive traits and help you grow your company. Things as simple as a donuts party in the morning or paid lunch can make a huge difference in moral and team building.
