DEFINITION OF AN INCENTIVE SEMINAR
Incentive is a set of stimulation techniques aimed at improving and maintaining the motivation of a team or a group. Incentive seminars are organized to share information, and are punctuated by fun activities to motivate and reward employees. They are organized outside the company, to allow participants to disconnect from the usual work environment.

As you can see, the organization of an incentive seminar is an excellent way for a company to motivate its employees while achieving the objectives mentioned above. An incentive seminar also represents a reward offered to the participants to value the various efforts made by them.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN INCENTIVE SEMINAR AND A TEAM BUILDING?
Team building and incentive activities both share a fundamental characteristic: motivating employees and teams.
If motivation is the common objective of these two types of corporate events, team-building generally precedes incentive in the steps of valorization and motivation of a team. It prepares teams to work better together. The team building is indeed oriented on the fact of carrying out an activity, to reinforce the team cohesion. This company event allows to develop the links between the different participants. A team building activity usually takes place over half a day, or even a whole day.
An incentive seminar is often organized to reward employees for increased productivity and good work performance. This corporate event allows to effectively retain employees and reinforce their feeling of belonging to the company. It usually lasts several days and usually takes the form of a stay.
