Evaluate at least three trends or recent approaches in compensation that SEIIC should consider in its redesign effort, including the pros and cons of each.

SEIIC’s compensation and benefits programs are based on traditional design principles typical of a company of its age and history. For example, almost all employees receive annual pay increases of two to five percent. This is frustrating to both managers and high performing employees. Managers would like to give better pay raises to high performers. However, budgets are only enough to cover the “required” raises to all employees; this leaves too little for more significant raises to high performers. Naturally, as a result, high performers who feel underpaid often seek other employment. The company’s policies have tended to reward seniority rather than performance, and because of the job evaluation system, compensation is tightly compressed. Benefits are thought to be generous in that the company pays for most of the cost. However, the structure of the benefits is rigid and only includes such traditional benefits as health insurance, life insurance, and a 401(k) plan.

 

The company recognizes that things are changing in its business environment, the needs of its people are changing, and business is more global than in the past. As part of the ongoing analysis of trends that should influence the redesign of HRM in the company, what are the relevant trends in compensation and benefits to which the company should pay the most attention to develop the kind of employees it needs and retain its most valuable performers? To answer this question, address the prompts:

 

  • Evaluate at least three trends or recent approaches in compensation that SEIIC should consider in its redesign effort, including the pros and cons of each.
  • Evaluate at least three trends or recent approaches in benefits that SEIIC should consider in its redesign effort, including the pros and cons of each.
  • Assess other intrinsic and extrinsic motivators that SEIIC should consider in its redesign effort, including pros and cons of those motivators.
  • Using your evaluation in the previous three sections (compensation, benefits, and intrinsic/extrinsic motivators), justify an action plan to develop and retain valuable performers in the organization.

PURPOSE

 

An investigative essay is the writer’s attempt to share newly discovered information with his or her readers. 

 

Because the writer is sharing new information, the introduction and statement of purpose in an investigative essay needs to reflect this intention, which is to inform..

For this essay, you will investigate a career with the ultimate goal of discovering information that is personally useful. Your approach to the topic will depend on what you need to find out.

 

 

If you are new to college and still working on your “basics,” you may not know which career you will pursue in the future. This essay can help you identify a viable career path. If you have already selected a career, your investigation should focus on aspects of your career that have changed since your initial investigation

 

 

If you already have a career, perhaps this essay will help you understand your current career, and all of its possibilities, more fully. Remember: this is a brief essay that requires a narrow, focused subject that is at once useful and practical.

Is ALEC Too Big, Either To Fail Or Dangerous?

In this assignment, students will be required to write a response to the following prompt:

The American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) is deeply embedded in our contemporary politics as an interest group. Specifically, ALEC as a think tank that has written model legislation that is passed in state legislatures all over the U.S. Given it’s size, many watchdogs an liberal groups consider ALEC to be the epitome of what’s wrong with lobbying and the influence of interest groups in the U.S.A… However, is it different than other interest groups?

Has ALEC simply beaten other interest groups at the political game, or does ALEC actually pose an anti-democratic threat to the integrity of the legislative process?
