Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'incentive' (a reward or motivator) with 'program' (an organized scheme or plan); together they transparently denote a scheme to motivate behavior. This noun–noun composition is common in business contexts and across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand it.
Etymology
The noun incentive program comes from a simple picture: a program is a planned set of actions and an incentive is a small reward or push. So a company gives a planned set of rewards to 'motivate' people to reach goals, which is why the phrase means a formal plan to encourage better work or results.
