How are you rewarding your team for Christmas

With the countdown already in full swing towards the end of the year keeping your team focused and on track can take some work.

Often people feel tired, overwhelmed and stressed leading into the Christmas period and look forward to a break over the holidays and finding that extra push to the finish line becomes even more critical.

In response Blinc has developed a campaign that will motivate and engage your team to achieve the results you want as we enter the last few months of the year.

Using the NEW Inc App for Smartphones and Tablets your team will swing into action. The App is a digital technology platform that delivers a real time incentive application run entirely from the Smartphone or Tablet.

Blinc’s Jingle Jingle campaign is tailor made to communicate directly with your team using specific criteria set by you. The NEW Inc App enables you to communicate, engage and reward your team with instant communication and regularly updated leaderboards at the same time allowing you to track team performance. And reward fulfillment is taken care of by Blinc’s in-house team.

The new office for the mobile workforce

With the current growth in the mobile workforce finding ways to keep a remote team engaged and motivated is becoming increasingly difficult.

Telecommuting and working from home is rapidly growing and estimated to be over 1.3billion globally. Flexible work options and remote locations are highly attractive but what gets lost?  Team building, office comradery and a sense of belonging can often wane so finding creative strategies to incentivise your team and keep them engaged and motivated takes on a whole new meaning.

Aiding this new workforce to be smarter and more agile is the use of technology. Remote work styles are just like the new tech – flexible, superfast and innovative.

So here are four ways technology can help your mobile team’s productivity, motivation and engagement:

• Increase sharing and collaboration –  cloud based file sharing like Microsoft office and Google works enables easy and immediate access to share documents. Team members can readily see who is working on what, encouraging further collaboration and communication.
• Incentives and rewards – recognising your team’s good work can not only boost morale, but also increase productivity and reduce staff turnover. An incentive program, such as Blinc’s Inc App can be delivered directly to the Smartphone  or Tablet in real time with push notifications and broadcasts to the team helping to cement team bonding while out on the road.
• Insights to individual performance – and while Apps can encourage team performance they also allow managers to view individual’s performance.  Seeing more means that managers are able to do more for their team, identify strengths and weaknesses, and support the individual in remote locations.
• Learning on the go – mobile sales teams are the biggest benefactors of online software and mobile applications, which are designed to turn your team into experts with quality training programs that can be completed on the go or away from the desk. Training can be monitored to ensure everyone is up to speed with the latest information requirements and even incentivised with a learn and earn program using the Inc App.

Today’s mobile technology allows even the most remote team to access the latest information in real time. Utilising and investing in what this technology can offer is the next step in building a mobile office that is motivated, cohesive and productive. Take a look at the case studies on the Blinc website for ideas on how to use the Inc App to increase your overall team performance.
