EasyJet launches reward and recognition programme

Date: 23/01/2009

In order to meet with the expectations of both current and potential employees, a major budget airline has decided to implement an incentive scheme to reward performance, it has been reported.

According to Employee Benefits, EasyJet is launching Your Benefits in February and has contacted 5,000 workers by email and post to try to get them all on board.

Ken Lawrie told the news resource about the scheme, which is also using employee incentives to get its staff to join up by promoting the initiative with £500-worth of high street retail vouchers

He continued: "There is a growing expectation for these types of benefits [among staff] and we are now a big company, recruiting from other big companies, so we wanted to remain competitive."

In order to match the demands of employees in the current market, competitive companies may want to look into corporate event planners to develop reward and recognition programmes.

EasyJet was established in March 1995 and took its first booking in October of the same year, based at London Luton Airport.
