As a Senior HR Professional, you should be familiar with non-monetary rewards that your company provides for its employees. Which of the following is an example of non-monetary reward?

Satisfaction from challenging assignments is an intrinsic motivator - a psychological state the employee generates internally - not a tangible, employer-provided non-monetary reward.

Esteem from working with talented peers is an intangible emotional experience arising from social context, not a discrete non-monetary benefit that the employer directly provides or controls.

Cash compensation is a direct monetary reward and is the explicit opposite of a non-monetary reward, making it categorically incorrect.

An on-site cafeteria is a tangible, employer-provided benefit that holds real value for employees without involving a direct cash payment, making it a textbook non-monetary reward. Unlike options A and B, which are intrinsic psychological states employees generate internally, the cafeteria is a physical resource the company deliberately supplies. Non-monetary rewards of this type are part of total compensation strategy but fall entirely outside the monetary or cash-based category.
