Leadership and Management
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.
