Benefits for achievement
Rewards are things given or received in return for effort, achievement, or service.
A reward can be payment, recognition, or satisfaction: The job offers financial rewards, Seeing her graduate was reward enough.
To reward someone is to give them something for what they've done: The company rewards loyalty with bonuses.
Reward also names the feeling of satisfaction from accomplishment: Teaching has its own rewards.
