Hands Up Incentives, an award-winning division of luxury volunteer tourism provider Hands Up Holidays, now offers American and Canadian companies unique opportunities to combine business travel with ways to give back to local communities around the world. Hands Up Incentives provides international meeting planning services, corporate team-building retreats, and incentive trips for companies' top performers, all while blending them with fulfilling corporate social responsibility (“CSR”) objectives, relaxation, and adventure. The company offers team-building itineraries in over 30 destination countries on five continents, including Belize, China, Kenya, New Zealand, and Bali. The bespoke trips engage employees in volunteer activities ranging from updating medical clinics and school classrooms to building disabled-access bathrooms in private homes.

"For companies to attract top talent today, they need to offer more than good salaries and benefits. I believe employees are looking to be part of corporate cultures that value altruism and sustainability," said Hands Up Incentives founder Christopher Hill. "Our trips are a chance for companies not only to engage staff in meaningful work that uplifts communities, but to reward employees, build cooperation between team members, and build loyalty to the company."

Hands Up Incentives is two-time winner of the IMEX Commitment to the Community Award for trips it has arranged for its clients. It has the team and experience – and commitment – to help other companies win this award, and thus enhance their CSR reputation.

Hands Up Incentives incorporates sustainability into all aspects of its trips. Accommodation are provided in eco-friendly hotels and resorts and restaurants and activities are carefully chosen for minimal carbon footprint.

Hands Up Incentives has produced free material to help various departments within companies.
