Are your Compensation & Benefits packages still competitive?

Want to get some freedom by sending your bosses away for two weeks? All you need to do is wave your hands. Yes, wave.

This funny idea comes from a new mobile initiative between Häagen-Dazs and Secret Tour Hong Kong, which is designed to tout its new ice-cream product, the Crispy Sandwich.

Dubbed Goodbye Boss, the campaign leads with a mobile activation where users are asked to wave their smartphones as long as possible to vie for HK$50,000 worth of flight packages for a trip to France for their bosses.

The mobile app can be triggered on the campaign-dedicated website, running from today to 11 October.

It seems like a good way to please the boss. But employees are also the beneficiaries.

Eighteen contestants who wave the longest are entitled to travel incentives from travel vouchers (worth HK$20,000 in total) to French dining coupons, French wines to Häagen-Dazs’ Crispy Sandwiches.

However, there will only be one lucky boss who wins a trip to France.

The campaign is being promoted mainly in the pop magazine 100 Most via two viral videos, starring 100 Most founder Roy Tsui and entrepreneur Shih Wing-ching.
