Compensation, benefits and safety
After exploring the role of Human Resource Management and its various requirements, it’s now time to demonstrate that you can apply these concepts in your own chosen industry or career path! Late work will lose 10% each day. You may consider researching how other organizations have managed these core HRM policies, practices and procedures. Specifically, consider what you have learned over this first few chapters and write an essay that explores in detail:
the typical balance of base pay (salary or hourly wages) and variable (incentive) pay for common jobs in this industry or career path
how managers can use an incentive plan to drive the desired behaviors and results in your industry or career path (with specific examples for multiple common jobs)
any unusual or innovative benefits that organizations in your industry or career path may offer
workplace safety or health concerns that may be known in this industry or career path, and how managers and HR can help reduce the risk
OSHA and important implications these regulations have in your industry or career path
Your paper should be formatted and written in the style dictated by the American Psychological Association (APA) 6.0 Style guidelines. Please see the Lynn Library APA Style guide for assistance here, including the pre-formatted template in Microsoft Word. You do not need to use an Abstract or a Table of Contents, but you will need a Title Page and a References Page in the correct formats. You are strongly encouraged to work with the Writing Lab to get assistance with your academic writing; take advantage of this free service, as part of your university education!
You must use APA-formatted in-text citations and References to indicate the source of any ideas you apply from other authors. You are encouraged to summarize and paraphrase whenever possible rather than directly quoting, as your instructor is much more interested in what you now know and understand than in what you can quote from your research. (However, citations and References are still required, even if you’re not directly quoting.)
All written assignments in this course follow the 300 Level Grading Rubric for Written Communications, which is listed below
