4.6 star rating We know the trust consumers place in ratings and reviews is tied directly to authenticity. That’s why we use Bazaarvoice. We believe that reviews should represent the genuine, unbiased, and transparent opinion about the author’s experience with a product or service. Reviews are not altered in any way by anyone other than the original author — including corrections for spelling or grammar. Reviews are not filtered, edited, or deleted simply because they are negative or are lower-rated.

The Best Recognition Programs Use Experiences: Making Milestones Memorable

Why Experiential Recognition Delivers the Best Employee
Rewards Results

Every business leader searching for the best recognition program faces the same challenge:choosing rewards that truly show appreciation while using budget wisely. Finding the best recognition approach that genuinely matters can feel overwhelming. For over two decades, RedBalloon for Business has pioneered the best recognition practices in Australia and New Zealand. We’ve transformed how organisations implement best in class recognition programs by turning corporate gifting into meaningful experiences that create deeper connections than traditional rewards.

Why Traditional Recognition Programs Fall Short

When researching the best recognition strategies for career milestones, the evidence is clear: traditional rewards don’t deliver lasting impact. Research has revealed that 83% of team members barely remember what they received from standard recognition programs just one year later. This is why thousands of organisations seeking the best recognition solutions have partnered with RedBalloon to create milestone celebrations with lasting value.

Creating the Best Recognition Experiences for Memorable Milestones

Research confirms that the best recognition programs utilise experiences rather than material gifts. When employees reach significant career milestones, the best recognition approach involves experience-based rewards that create celebrations worth remembering. RedBalloon’s catalogue of best recognition experiences—from gourmet cooking classes to adventure activities generates lasting memories that strengthen organisational bonds.
