Staff Bursary Program

The Waves Sports Club Staff Bursary Program
Each year The Waves Sports Club acknowledges and rewards exemplary staff through its annual Staff Bursary Program.
At the end of each month and throughout the year, each manager of The Waves votes in a 3-2-1 system of point allocation for the staff member which they feel have excelled in the areas of customer service, teamwork, attitude and behaviour, and/or excellence in job performance. At the end of each month points are tallied and the top three staff are rewarded with a $150 gift card, $100 gift card, and $50 gift card, respectively.
At the end of each year total points are then tallied for the Annual Staff Bursary Awards Ceremony Breakfast where the top fifteen point earners for the year are rewarded with:
First Place Platinum Winner | Las Vegas, United States Study Tour |
Second Place Gold Winner | Macau, China Study Tour |
Third Place Diamond Winners (x3) | Sydney (x2) and Brisbane Study Tour |
Fourth Place Silver Winners (x3) | $900, 800, and $700 |
Fifth Place Bronze Winners (x3) | $600, $500, and $400 |
Sixth Place Red Winners (x4) | $350, $300, $250, and $200 |
