SHRM’s 2014 Strategic Benefits Survey collected data on how organizations leverage benefits to recruit employees, including employees at all levels of the organization and highly skilled employees. This research found that more than one-quarter (29%) of respondents indicated their organization leveraged their benefits program to recruit employees at all levels of the organization in the past 12 months; about one-third (32%) reported their organization leveraged their benefits program to recruit highly skilled employees. Health care was the benefit most frequently cited as being leveraged to recruit employees at all levels of the organization (85%) and highly skilled employees (77%); retirement savings and planning were also frequently cited as being leveraged to recruit employees at all levels of the organization (72%) and highly skilled employees (57%).

compensation plan to improve goals in organizations. 1 THE PROYECT TEAM The first step is to create a team and its leader. The best leader will be a professional in Human Resource with a total reward experience. Each member of the project team should start with clear understanding of his or her role. -The team might include a consultant from outside the organization. -This individual can bring technical knowledge to the project, wisdom gained from experiences with similar organizations, and project management skills. THE four phases in implementing total reward system . Design Execution Evaluation Assessment Phase one ASSESSMENT During the assessment phase, the project team evaluates the company’s current total rewards system and generates ideas for improving it. Surveying Employee Attitudes Toward Rewards can generate additional valuable information. Examining Current Policies Reviewing the Literature, articles, and case studies regarding the subject PHASE TWO DESIGN the project team identifies which employee and organizational attributes to reward Types of rewards to offer such as compensation, benefits, personal, and professional development. Compensation comprises three major components: pay level (base wage or salary), pay increases, and incentives (cash bonuses) EXECUTE AND EVALUATE The third phase is Execute. Once the project team has designed a total rewards system, it moves to the execution phase of the implementation process putting the new system in place in the organization. The fourth phase is Evaluation. In this phase, the project team compares the actual results of the executed total rewards strategies against the desired results. The base salary will be increased two dollars. It was moved from $ 9 to $ 11. The tips will be divided among the workers at the end of the working day. Each worker will work 40 hours in four days. Pay increases will be increased in 4 dollars for those who have been worked for the company for more than 10 years. Incentives Cash bonuses based on employee performance will be delivered. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME Module 4 - Background TOTAL REWARDS IN PRACTICE In Module 4, we will be looking at the importance of determining compensation program effectiveness. There are basically two commonly used approaches to evaluate the effectiveness of HRM’s total rewards practices: the audit approach and the analytic approach. The Audit Approach The audit approach focuses on reviewing the outcomes of the human resource compensation function. Key indicators and customer satisfaction measures are typically collected. Electronic employee databases and information systems have made it much easier to collect, store, and analyze key indicators than in the past, when information was kept in paper files. Some examples of key pay-related indicators include: · Per capita (average) merit increases · Ratio of recommendations for reclassif ...

1 CPD research Student name Instructor name Course title Date Introduction Training department has been experiencing a decline in the attendance of the nurses to the CPD activities for the last two years. Based on this decline, it is important as a training department to look forward examining some of the factors that might have led to the decline. Therefore, a survey which involves a cross sectional study design was mandatory to investigate these factors. The primary aim of the survey was to collect data using questionnaires on what motivated the nurses to attend the continuing professional development (CPD) activities along with the impact of these activities on the nurses’ performance as they perceived. The department will be trying to find strategies that will enhance CPD participation. However, the finding will be used to improve attendance and planning the next year continuing professional activities annual plan. The research managed to collect qualitative data. The dependent variables are variables that change based on other variables, thus these variables are the questions asked to the respondent such as what motivated them to undertake CPD activities, the strategies they consider to enhance their CPD activities and how these strategies impact their learning including their colleagues and organization and also how they can measure the impact of the CPD they attended on their growth and development and effectiveness of the strategies identified. The independent variables are variables that do not change based on other variables. In this case, the independent variables are the responses from the participants. Research questions There were four research questions. These are as follows; · What motivates them to undertake CPD activities? · What strategies do they consider in enhancing your CPD activities? · How these strategies made impact on their as a learner, to their colleagues or the organization in which they work? · How do they measure the impact of the CPD they attended on their growth and development and the effectiveness of the strategies identified? Research hypothesis Hypothesis The hypothesis is the proposed explanation with limited evidence that guide the research by giving it a starting point. In most cases, the research consist of two hypotheses, this include null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis. The null hypothesis is the hypothesis that has no significant difference between the specified populations while alternative hypothesis is the hypothesis that has a significant difference between the specified populations. Hypothesis one Null hypothesis: There is no significant difference between the respondent views. Alternative hypothesis: There is a significant difference between the respondent views. Or H0: μr=μr where r represent respondent views H1: μrμr Hypothesis two Null hypothesis: There are no significant factors led to decline in the attendance of the nurses to the CPD activities for the last two ...

FDI and Superstar Spillovers: Evidence from Firm-to-Firm Transactions Mary AMITI (FED New York, United States) Despite competition concerns over the increasing dominance of global corporations, many argue that productivity spillovers from multinationals to domestic firms justify pro-FDI policies. For the first time, we use firm-to-firm transaction data in a developed country to examine the impact of forming a new relationship with a multinational, and find a TFP increase of about 8% three or more years after the event. Sales to other buyers, trade and customer quality also increase. However, we also document that starting to supply other “superstar firms” such as those who heavily export or are very large also increases performance by similar amounts, even if the superstar is a non-multinational. Placebos on starting relationships with smaller firms and novel identification strategies relying solely on demand shocks to superstar firms support a causal interpretation. In addition to productivity spillovers, we document the transmission of “relationship capabilities” and “dating agency” effects as the increase in new buyers is particularly strong within the superstar firm’s existing network. These results suggest an important role for raising productivity through the supply chains of superstar firms regardless of their multinational status. Find out more at https://oe.cd/spl-mtg

Mapping location and co-location of industries at the neighborhood level Alessandro ALASIA, Dennis HUYNH (Statistics Canada) In Canada, there is limited analysis on industry locations at the neighbourhood level; location and co-location of industries have been assessed primarily at the regional scale which results in an information gap for businesses. Recent evidence suggests that businesses do not just choose a city for their location, they choose specific business districts within a metropolitan area. Recent improvements in the geolocation of business microdata allow to address the information gap. This work, undertaken as part of the Business Data Lab and in collaboration with the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, is a first attempt to map industry locations at the neighbourhood level in major metropolitan areas of Canada. Using establishment-level microdata from the Business Register, we apply spatial kernel density estimations to identify neighbourhoods with high employment/revenue density for selected industries (2-digit NAICS) and industry clusters (grouping of 6-digits NAICS). The geographic delineation of business districts within metropolitan areas is the first step in understanding the evolution of industry location and co-location over time, and assessing local business dynamics at the neighbourhood level. Ultimately, these business districts can be analyzed in combination with additional data sources (e.g., mobility and road traffic) to derive further economic insights.

Democratizing data through innovative data governance and visualizations Patrick GILL, Stephen TAPP (Chambers of Commerce, Canada) Small organizations in Canada struggle with accessing and leveraging data on business conditions and trends. These organizations have expressed difficulty in knowing what is available, accessing it and converting this information into actionable insights. To empower small organizations with more business-related information and insights, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce has built a suite of free tools that merge and visualize traditional statistics with powerful high-frequency data sets (e.g. payments and mobility). This work is enabled by innovate data governance (e.g. a data trust) and a collaborative partnership with Statistics Canada. The Canadian Chamber of Commerce is continuing work with Statistics Canada to release more local business information available through the agency’s Business Register (e.g. the mapping of local business districts), and is exploring how Generative AI can support small organizations’ navigation and understanding of the business information it has curated.

Involvement of rural regions in European research networks Rupert KAWKA, Torsten SCHUNDER (Federal Office for Building and regional Planning, Germany) This study investigates the distribution of the European Union's Horizon 2020 funding programme on rural and urban regions between 2014 and 2020 and the resulting urban-rural links. Leveraging the Horizon 2020-database covering the 2014-20 programming period, which encompasses data on approximately 35,000 funded projects involving nearly 180,000 partners, the paper explores the participation of rural firms and organisations in the broader European research framework. By integrating the urban-rural classification of NUTS 3 regions, the research addresses key questions concerning the involvement of rural regions in Horizon 2020 projects, the structural differences in projects with and without rural participation, and the dynamics of urban-rural collaboration in research. The study further aims to identify potential clusters of rural innovation hubs across Europe and assess spatial disparities. Find out more at https://oe.cd/spl-mtg

Forcibly displaced people fleeing violent conflict and other forms of persecution find support from the social and solidarity economy (SSE) along their pathways, from their country of origin to asylum protection. The numbers are growing and new OECD work sheds light on how the specific values and characteristics of SSE entities provide high-quality responses to refugee needs and facilitate integration in host communities. The SSE can support access to rights, empowerment, social and labour market inclusion of refugees. Join this webinar with the UNHCR, SINGA and NESsT Poland to discover how the SSE plays a role in the steps along the way of refugee’s journey.
