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

I'd go with A, B, and C. Cash compensation is definitely monetary, not non-monetary.

I feel like recognition is a classic example of a non-monetary reward, but I need to double-check on the learning opportunities.

Cash compensation is definitely not a non-monetary reward, but I’m a bit confused about the others.

I remember a practice question that mentioned flexible hours as a perk, so I think it counts as a non-monetary reward.

This is a great question to test our understanding of employee motivation. I'm going to methodically go through each option and evaluate whether it's a non-monetary reward.

Ugh, I hate questions like this. There's always some tricky wording or hidden meaning. I'll just have to read through the options carefully and use my best judgment.

Okay, let me think this through. Recognition, opportunity to learn, and flexible hours - those all sound like good non-monetary rewards. I've got a strategy here.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know non-monetary rewards are important, but I'm not totally confident I can identify all of them correctly.

This seems like a pretty straightforward question. I'll focus on the non-monetary rewards and eliminate the cash compensation option.
