That seems an effective moral booster then. The idea of an empty meaningless take your turn as recognized employee is worthless.
I used to work at a boating supply joint while I was in college. They had a voluntary program where employees could learn about particular products and be tested on their knowledge. It did not translate directly to any change in pay. But, it was beneficial in that the sales staff became much more knowledgeable. It also, for me anyway, gave a feeling of confidence and righteousness in complaining about how little I was paid.
