Overview
The final project for this course is the creation of a benefits and compensation analysis (with revisions) and a stakeholder presentation.
Professionals in the human resources field are often tasked with overseeing the benefits and compensation (Total Rewards) functions within any given organization. Human resource professionals often have to examine specific compensation and benefit elements of a total rewards system and compare them with qualitative and quantitative data collected internally, to determine how to fairly and appropriately reward employees for their work.
For this summative assessment, imagine you have been tasked with evaluating and revising the current benefits and compensation package of an organization. You will utilize information from a case study to compare and contrast the organization’s total reward system with external benchmarking data, analyze data for gaps, and make revisions to the existing compensation and benefit package. The information you are provided will be based on a specific aspect of a benefits and compensation package (retirement benefits, medical benefits, etc.). You must also create a presentation to stakeholders that explains the proposed changes, your rationale, and the implications of the changes for the organization.
The project is divided into three milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure a quality final submission. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three, Five, and Seven. The final project will be submitted in Module Nine.
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following course outcomes:
Analyze qualitative input from stakeholders for prioritizing employee concerns regarding existing organizational total rewards systems
Compare existing internal quantitative data regarding benefits and compensation structures to external benchmarking data for determining key areas of concern in organizational total rewards systems
Evaluate strengths and weaknesses of organizational benefits and compensation structures for informing the revision of a total rewards system
Design revised benefits and compensation packages that address key stakeholder concerns and align with established financial, organizational, and legal constraints
Appropriately communicate proposed changes of organizational benefits and compensations structures to various internal stakeholder populations.
Prompt
In your new role as a human resources professional, you have been asked to revise aspects of the current total rewards package illustrated in the provided case study and make revisions to the package to accommodate issues and concerns. You have also been asked to prepare a presentation to stakeholders regarding your proposed revisions. You will begin with an analysis of quantitative and qualitative information about the current rewards system. Use this information to identify strengths and weaknesses of the current package and make recommendations, while addressing stakeholder concerns and previously identified weaknesses. You will communicate these proposed changes in a presentation to stakeholders of the organization. You should also use charts and tables to augment and support your analysis.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
Total Rewards Analysis: For this part of the assessment, you will analyze given aspects of the Total Rewards package from the provided case study. You will analyze qualitative and quantitative data regarding the current system and determine gaps in that system that will inform your future recommendations and revisions.
Analyze the issues or concerns of employees through a review of the qualitative data presented in the case study, for their validity and importance. Be sure to consider the needs of different demographics of employees within the organization.
Determine the key issues or concerns of employees that should be targeted and addressed, based on the provided qualitative data. Justify your response. Why should other concerns be made less of a priority? Consider the underlying reasons behind the issues voiced by employees.
Compare and contrast the provided quantitative data regarding the current benefits and compensation system with external benchmarking data from the competitive organization. Use the supplemental data documents to complete your response. What does the current system have that other organization does not? What does the other organization offer that the current system does not? Justify your response.
Determine areas of misalignment, differences, and gaps present in the current benefits and compensation system, based on the external benchmarking data. What are the key areas of the current system that are misaligned with the competition?
Based on the strengths and weaknesses of each plan, determine Emerging Pharmaceuticals’ rewards components that should be increased, reduced or stay the same, and provide your rationale.
Compare qualitative input data and quantitative analysis with the organization’s employee demographic data to determine the degree of the existing population that will be affected by the proposed changes. In other words, what is the overall impact of each proposed change?
Revisions: In this part of the assessment, you will make recommendations and revisions to the current benefits and compensation package to address any concerns and gaps previously identified.
Make recommendations to the current total rewards package that address concerns related to your previous analysis of the quantitative and qualitative data. In other words, what changes would you make to the current benefits and compensation package in order to address any concerns you previously identified?
Identify potential financial, procedural, and legal constraints regarding the revised total rewards package.
Explain the financial cost of proposed changes to both direct and indirect compensation. Be sure to address fully funded organizational changes, partially funded changes (and by what percentage), and fully employee-funded benefits. Identify the increase or decrease for total employee costs.
Presentation: In this part of the assessment, you will develop a brief presentation (PowerPoint or other similar tools for this exercise) to stakeholders that describes your recommended changes and provides both context and rationale for why you believe they should occur. This presentation must be developed in such a way that it is accessible for all stakeholders (leadership, management, employees, and so on).
Provide a brief overview of the qualitative input data, quantitative benchmarking data, and the gap analysis that was conducted.
Provide a rationale for proposed changes and explain how the proposed changes will achieve targeted organizational goals and address stakeholder concerns.
Explain the implications of implementing the new system for the organization and for different employee populations.
