Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A, B, C

The following are non-monetary rewards that a company can provide to its employees:

Opportunity to learn

Flexible hours

Recognition

Employees need to learn and develop new skills in order to advance. Hence, opportunity to learn is a non-monetary reward.

Employees need time for their family, friends, and other activities. A felxible schedule or the occasional off can help employees to meet some of these obligations. Permiting some felxibility in an employee schedule increases their motivation.

Answer option D is incorrect. Cash compensation is a monetary reward for employment.

A, B, and C are the way to go. D is for the boring folks who don't appreciate the finer things in life, like flexible schedules.

A, B, and C for sure. D is just plain wrong. Who needs money when you have flexible hours and recognition?
