Assessment 5: Compensation and Benefits

 

Then select the class Fund of Human Resources and Mgmt and select assessment 5- Compensation and Benefits
From there please read the requirements for the paper, and the required/suggested sources needed to be used.

Write a research paper in which you address the compensation and benefits of a selected organization, based on information you have gathered and

analyzed about the organization.

Structuring and communicating a total compensation package that meets regulatory requirements and the needs of the workforce requires a delicate

balancing act between what is required and what will contribute to an effective relationship between employer, employee, and the community in which the

company operates. Communicating benefits programs to employees can be as important as the benefits themselves. Knowing how to leverage all available

compensation options is a necessary skill for any HR professional.

**INSTRUCTIONS**
Preparation

Choose an organization to use for this assessment. It can be where you are currently employed or a company with which you are familiar. It must be an

organization that is researchable, as you will need to gather and analyze information in order to complete the assessment. You may use the same

organization for the other assessments in this course.
If you choose the organization where you are currently employed, please keep in mind that the analyses you make must be based on facts that can be

documented rather than your personal opinion as an employee.
Research the compensation and benefits of your selected organization. These topics are fluid and ever-changing, and a very good resource of information

for these topics is the Capella library. Please search for sources published within the last 1–2 years for your assessment as you describe the

compensation and benefits programs your chosen organization offers.
