Staff Reward and Recognition Policy

This policy is to outline the overall framework that exists for the use of various mechanisms to reward

and recognise staff, either as individuals or as part of a team, for high-level performance that assists

Bounce Fitness in pursuing its strategic goals and objectives.

This system also acknowledges that individual performance is often dependent upon the staff member’s

ability to operate effectively as part of a team, and on the efforts of other members of that team.

Performance therefore relates to teamwork, interpersonal effectiveness, customer service, leadership

effectiveness, accountability, and continuous improvement; as well as individual achievement of goals

and objectives.

The Performance Management System

The Performance Management System of Bounce Fitness is the basis for rewarding and recognising

the achievements of staff, with annual Performance Management cycle performance outcomes being

directly linked to decision-making in relation to progression and the granting of special benefits such

as opportunities to study and/or extended leave to do so. The Performance Management system is

also used for the setting of performance objectives upon which various salary loadings are payable.

Performance Loadings

The Bounce Fitness Salary Loadings Policy provides a framework for the payment of salary loadings

to members of staff for exceptional performance and acknowledges that they must be commensurate

with the level of performance of the staff member in receipt of the loading. Accordingly, the continued

applicability and quantum of such loadings must be commensurate with the level of performance of the

staff member.

Other Financial and Non-Financial Rewards and Recognition

Other mechanisms for rewarding or recognising outstanding performance include:

The provision of performance bonuses

Monetary grants for professional or other staff development purposes

Various forms of non-financial recognition such as a written or other private or public

acknowledgement or the celebration of achievement, for example by a morning tea, honouring

the achievements of an individual or team.
