Compensation Purpose and Strategy Document

/in /by

The purpose of this assignment is to choose a compensation philosophy that is appropriate for your chosen firm (Construction Company)and articulate a rationale for this selection.

There are two aspects to this assignment. First, describe the risks and benefits with leading, meeting, and lagging the market in overall compensation and benefits. Next, choose the appropriate strategy (lead, meet, or lag) for your firm, and provide rationale about why this is appropriate.

There is a minimum requirement of 500 words for the compensation purpose and strategy document.

Consider some of the following factors in your assignment:

1. Payroll expenses are usually the highest expense at most firms. If you lead the market, this expense can be taxing.

2. If you are pursuing top talent in human capital rich industries (e.g., software engineering), lagging the market may keep you from competing for market share against your competitors.

3. If you meet the market, paying average will generally not attract top talent, and in addition, you will not have the labor-cost savings of a lag-the-market strategy.

Any sources used, including the textbook, must be referenced; paraphrased and quoted material must have accompanying citations in APA format.

Discussion 2: 

“Business and Government Relations”  There are at least two sides to every issue.

Students whose last name begins from A-L will consider their initial response to this question as senior executives of a corporation, for example:

Corporations are people. They are the shareholders who’ve risked their savings in order to have a better future and a source of income in their old age. They are unions whose member’s funds are invested in stocks. All of these people should have the collective right to express how government treats their corporation vis a vis regulations and taxation. Provide your rationale.

Students whose last name begins with M – Z will consider their initial response to this topic as citizens. Consider this article: Fighting Back Against Corporate Personhood . Provide your rationale.

Your subsequent responses to your classmates can be based upon your personal position of this topic.

  • Discuss using the ideas, language, terms used in this week’s topics.
