What term describes cash and non-cash rewards paid to workers to motivate them?

• A. Financial Rewards
• B. Incentives
• C. Remuneration
• D. Bonuses

Answer: (A)

Incentives are rewards used to encourage employees to improve performance, and they can be cash or non-cash. Because the phrase describes both monetary and non-monetary rewards aimed at motivating workers, incentives is the best fit. Financial rewards would cover money alone and miss non-cash forms. Remuneration refers to the total pay and benefits, not specifically the motivational rewards concept. Bonuses are a specific monetary reward, not the broader category that includes non-cash options. So the concept best describing cash and non-cash rewards paid to workers to motivate them is incentives.
