Leadership Coaching Sessions For Senior Management – A New Service Offering From Uwin Iwin

Our latest offering, the Leadership coaching, has attracted much attention since its launch.

Many corporate Executives, Senior Management and Decision-makers have gained valuable knowledge from these sessions conducted by our CEO – David Sand – who is an industry thought leader with over 30 years of experience.

Formulating incentive programmes is crucial to the success of an incentive initiative, and during these coaching sessions, the global benchmarks for successful incentive schemes are shared with Leadership teams, providing them with the formula required during the planning stage.

Through jointly assessing the specific needs and objectives of an organisation, incentive programmes are designed with best practices in mind, so that potential achievements are demonstrated to the Executive and Management teams, and the required actions to take to achieve the desired results are established.

Very often in large organisations, Middle Management is tasked with implementing incentive programmes and Senior Executives are responsible for providing Middle Management with the proper budgets and connecting the incentive programme to the executive vision. Occasionally there is a misalignment and a gap between C-suite Executives who set the company’s vision and Middle Management who are responsible for managing the programme’s day to-day operations to ensure the programme’s success. The Leadership coaching sessions have therefore proven to bring alignment between Executives and Management.

During these high-energy and fast paced sessions, high-level information is shared, which is also supported by research and data, so at the end of these sessions, Leadership teams walk away with a clearer understanding of the vision set by company Executives, there is a cohesive understanding of all components required to make an incentive programme successful, and Uwin Iwin Incentives has a deeper understanding of the corporate’s needs and can recommend and structure programmes strategically to support the objectives of the business

As a result of the coaching sessions, Leadership teams have walked away more energised, with more creativity and were able to properly implement and execute incentive programmes successfully which ultimately yields a return on their investment.

5 Steps To Successfully Enrol An Incentive Program For First Time Incentive Users

Initiating and implementing the right incentive program for new users or employers is sometimes a daunting and confusing endeavour, because of the various elements tied to enrolling such a business sensitive plan. There is sometimes the conflict of misapplication of incentives by employers due to limited knowledge which results in undesired outcomes and results.

Incentives planning requires matching the incentives with the desired objectives and goals pursued by organisations. Employers new to incentives need to understand that an incentive is an object or item of value that propels repeated desired actions and applying it methodically to encourage this behaviour. Getting it right has a positive effect on the growth, sustainability, talent retention, employee motivation and productivity of organisations irrespective of constant changing business dynamics in the global market. The President of the IRF (Incentive Research Foundation) Stephanie Harris, in the IRF Incentive Trends report of 2023, proposes that “incentives, recognition and rewards programs will be expected to have a broader reach and deeper impact than before” for organisations. More attention is being paid to deploying more impactful incentives than before.

There are five strategic steps that are key in the process of helping employers successfully enrol an incentive program for their organisations:

Step 1: Planning

Assessment of an organisation’s goals and objectives for proper planning is a key starting point. Investigating the right incentive program that aligns with these goals and objectives as well as aligning them with budgets is also important. Part of the planning review includes, finding the right reward option that appeals to the target audience. Different types of rewards appeal to different demographics. This involves high level consultations and deep diving into the key areas that need re-energising or promotion for the organisation. Once these are determined, the groundwork for Incentives, reward types and set objectives are in place.

Step 2: Strategic Communications for Enrolment

Winning the hearts and minds of the target audience for engagements and performance is key, to commence on boarding, extensive communication campaigns is key. This can be done via e-mails, interactive user platforms on the purpose of the program and its goals, benefits, and rewards. The communications will also give details of who qualifies for the program and how they will be enrolled-eg. Program rules and details.

Step 3: Data Collection For Enrolment

Data collection of all the qualified users or participants needs to be collected and collated for the proposed incentives plan. This process commences after confirming those who are best suited for the program and are instrumental to its success. All data tied to on boarding the users such as personal data details, contact information can be derived via sign-on forms or other channels.

Step 4: Enrolment Of Users

After data has been collected the users can now be enrolled for the program. The use of innovative technology or an automated enrolment system is of more advantage in executing this stage of an incentive program plan. It reduces errors, it’s easier to deal with volumes of data and makes the on boarding of future users/ participants easier. Once this is achieved the program can be launched and activated for users/ participants.

Step 5: Monitoring, Tracking And Measurement

Once an incentive program has commenced, it is important to monitor its effectiveness. Utilising data analytics tools, organisations can monitor performance to identify areas for improvement. Conclusively, incentive planning and enrolment is a key part of organisational performance success. Where employees, customers and clients are concerned, it is important to do proper planning. Make strategic communications, employ data collection, as well as execute enrolment and program monitoring and tracking.
