rewarders
Those who compensate
Those who give rewards—people or entities that provide compensation, recognition, or return for effort or achievement.
The term appears in religious and motivational contexts: God is the rewarder of those who diligently seek him.
In behavioral science, rewarders are any agents that reinforce desired behavior.
