You have had the opportunity to evaluate various aspects of your selected organization throughout this course in the form of unit assignments. Although your final will not be a simple compilation of your weekly unit assignments, the individual assignments should serve to provide you with foundational information for your final.
Your final requires you to evaluate the compensation plan of a real-world organization. Compensation affects the success and failure of an organization. The final project will help you be able to design and/or implement compensation strategies, and help you understand how your own compensation is managed. You may use your present employer, a past employer, or an organization that you would like to work for in the future as a model for this project.
Evaluate the compensation plan available at your selected organization. Your project should reflect the skills and knowledge that you have developed throughout this course. Your evaluation should discuss the strategic successes and failures of the compensation with regard to the following topics:
The strategic value of the plan as a source of competitive advantage
The internal alignment structures used to implement the plan
The external strategies used to implement the plan
The use of incentives in the plan
The function of benefits in the plan
The way labor costs are managed, including the processes and structures used
