Gain key insights from the Incentive & Events Industry Software Report: 2020. Stephanie Harris, IRF President, and Allan Schweyer, IRF’s Chief Academic Advisor and author of the report, discuss how technology is being selected, customized, and integrated into rewards and recognition programs. They address what features and functionality program owners prioritize now – and what will likely be critical in the near future.

Find out what program owners think about their programs and what they need from incentive program providers, suppliers, and associations. During this webinar, Melissa Van Dyke, IRF President, will present "The Program Owner Manifesto," based on highlights from the new study by the IRF 2019 Voice of the Market: The Use of Non-Cash Rewards & Recognition. She discusses what front-line program owners prioritize when designing, implementing, and executing incentive, rewards, and recognition programs.

The IRF Top Performers Study: Financial Services Sector study identifies the non-cash rewards strategies and tactics used by top performing financial services firms. The study also provides benchmarks and best practices to help financial services firms design effective non-cash rewards programs. During our latest webinar, Mel Van Dyke, IRF President discusses findings from the data collected across multiple financial services firms and compares the results of top performing financial services firms to those of average performing financial services firms. While the findings in this webinar are specific to the financial services industry, they are also aligned with what IRF is seeing in other verticals.

Get key takeaways from the IRF’s signature study 2019 U.S. Federal Regulations and Non-Cash Awards. During the IRF webinar Changes and Compliance, we discuss the feedback from program owners that regulatory requirements for incentive programs make it difficult to reward and recognize good performers. We explore how high awareness and knowledge of regulatory and tax requirements strongly correlated with greater rates of change in program design. Find out what types of changes are being made to program design in order to be in compliance – and if program owners are really accomplishing their compliance goals by making these changes.

Find out what truly successful technology companies are doing differently regarding human capital investments during this IRF discussion. We discuss benchmarks and key findings reported in The IRF Top Performers Study: Technology Sector. Executives at top-performing technology firms were twice as likely as executives at average technology firms to support non-cash rewards and recognition programs – we take a closer look at how these top-performing companies are designing, implementing, and measuring their programs.
