incentive program

Motivation through benefits

An incentive program is a structured system of rewards designed to motivate specific behaviors or outcomes.

Employers use incentive programs to boost productivity, retain talent, or meet targets: The sales team exceeded quota thanks to the new incentive program.

Schools, governments, and organizations also deploy them—offering bonuses, prizes, or recognition to encourage participation or performance.
