    I used to run a design studio for a big (non-design) company. I used to offer them the chance to go on a research trip to NY, Tokyo, around Europe becuase the company used to do them very regularly.

    Trouble was, for different reasons nobody ever got to go on those trips! That wasn't intentional mind you. They'd always get cancelled, or something would need to be done urgently, and then I'd have to find a way to DOUBLE incentivise a completely demoralised staff member who had had the dream trip to Tokyo cancelled.

    I learned at that point that the only way to incentivise is by indirect, general joi de vivre... make it a good place to work, and make yourself the kind of person who your team want to do right by. And stop rubbing your erection up the back of their heads when they're sat at their desks working. Espeically if you have a hair trigger.
