Reward, Recognition and Retention Framework

The Professional Staff Reward, Recognition and Retention (RRR) Framework has been developed by the University of Melbourne with the aim of providing an overarching plan that supports the Growing Esteem implementation and in particular the University's vision to:

"strive to develop exemplary employment practices for attracting, retaining and assisting the professional development of a talented and diverse staff ..."

The Framework details key principles to guide the future development and implementation of reward and recognition initiatives across the University. It aims to ensure:

  • a broad range of reward and recognition strategies are available to reward, recognise and retain high performing staff;
  • strategies place significant emphasis on non-monetary forms of rewards and recognition;
  • strategies are continually reviewed and updated to ensure they are relevant, meaningful and effective;
  • strategies reinforce organisational values and recognise achievements that contribute to the overall objectives of the University.
