The 2023 Industry Outlook from the Incentive Research Foundation reports that inflation has increased the perceived value of non-cash incentives. While gift cards may not buy as much as they used to, receiving a non-cash incentive may be a particularly welcome gesture when household incomes are stretched, and discretionary spending is more limited.
In North America, 50% of respondents believe high inflation increases the value of non-cash incentives.
These incentive merchandise suppliers can help you boost performance and morale in ways that paychecks cannot.
