Which item is identified as a recognition activity?

• A. Employee of the month/formal program to recognize high performing employees
• B. Mandatory annual training only
• C. Salary adjustments based on tenure
• D. Job rotation without acknowledgment

Answer: (A)

Recognition activities are ways to acknowledge and reward employees for their performance or contributions. An employee of the month program fits because it publicly highlights a high performer, providing social recognition and reinforcing the behaviors the organization values. The other items aren’t recognition activities: mandatory annual training focuses on compliance and skill development, salary adjustments based on tenure are financial rewards tied to length of service rather than performance, and job rotation without acknowledgment is a developmental move that lacks formal recognition.
