The February article includes the company’s interpretation of the research alongside the report’s findings. The first theme is the wider role of incentive professionals. One10 describes programs supporting employee attraction, retention, wellbeing and connection across remote and office-based teams. Travel presents a more complex picture. The review discusses higher costs and operational constraints alongside continuing demand for memorable experiences. One10 sees the design of the trip and its recognition value as important parts of the proposition. Inflation is another consideration. The company argues that merchandise and points-based rewards can carry significance when recipients are more cautious about discretionary spending, while program operators need flexibility in their budgets. The article also describes pressure on delivery as expectations recover from pandemic disruption. Shorter planning schedules, staffing constraints and supplier costs affect how incentive travel and other reward programs are organized. One10 recommends connecting reward choice with careful planning and an understanding of supplier pressures. Its response to the 2023 findings emphasizes preparation, adaptable budgets and travel experiences that reflect the intended recognition. ## Sources and documents ExpandCollapse * [4 Key Takeaways from the IRF Trends Report](https://www.one10marketing.com/resources/blog/4-key-takeaways-from-the-irf-trends-report/?utm%5Fsource=giftcard.news) — One10 ## In this article ### Companies * [One10](https://giftcard.news/company/one10/) Share [ ](https://x.com/intent/post?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fresearch-trends%2Fone10-reviews-irf-2023-trends-in-incentive-travel-and-employee-rewards-c17ecb6dc360%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dx%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial&text=One10%20reviews%20IRF%202023%20trends%20in%20incentive%20travel%20and%20employee%20rewards "X") [ ](https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fresearch-trends%2Fone10-reviews-irf-2023-trends-in-incentive-travel-and-employee-rewards-c17ecb6dc360%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dlinkedin%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "LinkedIn") [ ](https://wa.me/?text=One10%20reviews%20IRF%202023%20trends%20in%20incentive%20travel%20and%20employee%20rewards%20https%3A%2F%2Fgiftcard.news%2Fresearch-trends%2Fone10-reviews-irf-2023-trends-in-incentive-travel-and-employee-rewards-c17ecb6dc360%2F%3Futm%5Fsource%3Dwhatsapp%26utm%5Fmedium%3Dsocial "WhatsApp") ![Portrait of Oliver Reed](https://giftcard.news/images/variants/v1/oliver-reed-editorial-portrait-w320.webp) About the author ## [Oliver Reed](https://giftcard.news/author/oliver-reed/) Journalist — Industry Deals & Research Oliver Reed covers industry acquisitions, investment and market research for Gift Card News.
