Macquarie University’s Reward and Recognition Policy recognises exceptional staff performance and/or contributions to the overall objectives of the University.
Under this policy, RedBalloon gift and experience vouchers are one of key ways in which the University can recognise and reward staff members who excel on a specific project or issue.
The Frequently Asked Questions guide provides an overview of how staff and managers can use this service.
RedBalloon provides a broad range of gift and experience vouchers. There’s something for everyone from skydiving to spa treatments, from wine tasting to Latin dancing lessons, and from champagne and chocolate to jewellery making. Go to http://www.redballoondays.com.au/ for more information.
