Staff Incentives do help promote staff loyalty, Minx and good employers are well aware of this. Contrary to what some would have us believe, there are many good employers out there and no doubt, many bad ones too but that's no different to there being good and bad employees.
The thing about our "system", is that anyone can start up their own business if they have the desire but not everyone has that desire, many prefer the relative "comfort" of employment....so to anyone who feels exploited by their employer why not give a try it on the other side...and then do things the way you think they should be done.
Both hubby and I were employed but we are both self employed now have been for around 9 years. we are the makers of our own destiny. We don't employ people as we do enough work to cover our overheads as we work from home. But what it does do is frees up time to do what we enjoy too which is work doing voluntary work within our community which to me is so much more rewarding than what I done for 18 years prior to that. I loved my job years ago and felt I was a valued employee but when they started stripping incentives we had to find a way to have job satifaction and a sence of worth, this way was the only way I could see out of what was then becoming the materialist society inwhich we have now, where most were out for self gain we opted out and although a struggle at times we are have freedom to do what we do now.

I was once told something about being employed, which has stuck with me over many years.
This person told me " remember as an employee you are selling your services, and as an employer, you are buying that service ".
Now why would an employee who is selling his services, get anymore than what he agreed too at the start of his job?
Why should an employer who has brought someones services, pay them extra for doing the job he is paying them to do?
As an employee you are paid to do a job, why should you get anything over and above what was agreed at the job interview?
That is exactly the kind of attitude that unions use, or used to as they do not carry as much power as they once did.
Remember....without employers, there would be no jobs. No jobs ...no money.
If someone happens to work for an employer who is generous, and members of staff get something, then that is great but.....to expect it as a right for no gamble on an employee's part is frankly la la land thinking.
Why employ people?
What are you hoping to gain?
Surely people employ people because they can not cover all the work themselves.
In which case without the employee you would not be able to manage.
Isn't it a case of both need each other?
Sometimes yes and sometimes no. We employ staff as it makes it easier all round for us. We could do without them if we really had to. Or should that be " sacrifice them " ?
Check my quote in my earlier thread Minxy.
A lot of smaller firms could do without a lot of their staff, if they really needed too, but the larger ones obviously need staff to operate their business.
If I was to employ you for say 16 grand a year, working 9 to 5 five days a week, why would you expect anything else financially?
I employ you to do a job of work, and if you do it then I pay you. The object of free enterpise is to make a profit, which hopefully is where the staff come in. Why as an employer should I feel compelled to give any more than the wages which that employee is happy with? If they are not happy there is always a big brown thing....called a door.
I pay the staff good wages, they have a pretty easy time there, why the heck would I want to share my profits with them? They may well get a bonus at Xmas. But share the profits when I am the one taking all the gambles?.....not on your nelly.
Anyone who thinks I am wrong is clearly and I mean very clearly, a wage slave.
I personally wouldnt expect a company your size to share profits, I put a post up about profit sharing, I dont know if it was this thread, I would think it is more benifical for staff morale in a large company to issue more incentives to help build morale it make you feel part of a team and not just a number.
Hey did you know in Australia Staff after ten years service are paid 3 months leave every so many years thereafter. I don't know what companies pay that but I know the one my cousin works for does. They believe incentives helps in keeping loyal staff.

so funny but so true too! try leaning forward next time holding the door with your head. 
Your friends see you as an exciting, highly volatile, rather impulsive personality; a natural leader, quick to make decisions (though not always the right ones). They see you as bold and venturesome, someone who will try anything once; someone who takes a chance and enjoys an adventure. They enjoy being in your company because of the excitement you radiate.
