Lavish rewards programme launched for staff at agency group

A rewards and recognition programme has been launched at an agency chain, with claims that it will enhance staff careers and propel the business to success. 

Called Elevate the scheme is being rolled out to Spicerhaart’s 2,000 staff - many now working from home as part of the agency’s switch to hybrid working over the past year.

Few details are being released, and it is not known how this differs from past Spicerhaart incentive schemes, but group managing director Antony Lark says: “We’re starting with a new rewards programme with different packages for each area of our business, including sales and lettings within our seven estate agency brands, financial services through Just Mortgages, Spicerhaart land and new homes as well as our other teams across the group.

“Each are being incentivised through a range of new financial bonuses for achievements, in addition to our top-of-the-range hybrid cars, champagne, Winners’ Dinners and amazing overseas trips for our best performers, which have been newly reinstated following the Covid pandemic.”

The company says its success depends on having “brilliantly trained and highly motivated team members who are passionate about their careers, backed by the best technology in the industry.”

In the past Spicerhaart’s most favoured staff have been given trips to Morzine ski resort, Las Vegas, Texas, Abu Dhabi, Austria, Miami, Bangkok, Germany and New York.

“Our highest achievers will be recognised at our annual Elevate Awards Summit and gala dinner, where we fly in the best estate agency motivational speakers from across the globe and celebrate success in true Spicerhaart style”: explains Lark.

“We’re focusing on elevating people’s mindsets to help them achieve winning ways, taking every individual to a new level through our new Elevate Skills and Career Development programmes, with a coaching culture that enables people to improve and take the steps they want to take to be successful.

“We’ve redefined our culture to enable everyone to achieve their potential and be the best versions of themselves, recognising that every individual is motivated by different things.

“We’ll be showing what they get in return for their hard work, tenacity and focus, taking ownership of their outcomes so they can get what they want in life for themselves and their families and loved ones. It is truly a very exciting time to be part of the Spicerhaart family.”
