You are the HR manager of a relatively new retail company that
has both retail stores and Internet sales. Your company is
steadily growing in revenue and profitability. The company
realizes that in order to retain the solid, highly productive
workforce it currently has in place, it is important to enhance
the base compensation and benefits package offered to the
employees. The company currently offers a basic compensation
program and only federally mandated benefits. Employee
surveys suggest the compensation and benefits program may be
out of date. Employees are beginning to consider leaving the
organization.
Write a six to eight (6-8) page paper in which you:
Propose two (2) methods an HR professional could use to
determine incentive pay. Specify the principal manner in which
the proposed methods take into consideration individual, group,
and company performance. Justify your response.

benefits in today’s competitive environment. Determine the
legally mandated benefits that the company must currently offer
to its employees.
Recommend at least four (4) additional benefits that the
organization should consider providing to its employees.
Suggest at least three (3) important concepts that a company
must consider when designing benefit plans. Provide a rationale
for your response.
Assess the efficiency of common techniques for effectively
communicating compensation and benefit plans to employees.
Support your answer.
Suggest two (2) ethical risks of making incentive pay a large
portion of employees’ total compensation. Propose two (2)
recommendations for ways the company might mitigate or
reduce these risks.
Use at least four (4) quality academic (peer-reviewed) resources
in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and other Websites do not
qualify as academic resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size
12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references
must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your
professor for any additional instructions.
Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the
student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the
date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in
the required assignment page length.
The specific course learning outcomes associated with this
assignment are:
Examine the influences on and various approaches to
compensation.
Analyze issues related to developing and implementing
employee benefit packages.
Apply relevant theories and knowledge to human resource
practices in organizations.
