incenting
Offering rewards for
Incenting is a business-speak verb meaning to motivate through incentives: The company is incenting employees with bonuses.
It's a back-formation from incentive that many find grating—incentivize already exists for those who need a verb.
Still, incenting appears regularly in corporate contexts where jargon flourishes.
