In this week’s discussion we will practice presenting data from metrics and making recommendations and supporting them. From the three metrics you used for your assignment 3, choose 1 and present it.

Here is an example – read through it and provide on of your own. Remember that in your assignment 3 you need to do three of these!

I chose to gather data on employee satisfaction with compensation and benefits.

Here is the data:

Satisfaction with compensation:

83% highly satisfied

12% satisfied

5% unsatisfied

Satisfaction with rewards and benefits:

14% highly satisfied

22% satisfied

64% unsatisfied

Based on the results of this metric, we can conclude that the compensation seems to be satisfactory, but employees are not satisfied with the benefits and rewards. Thus, my recommendation is that HR do a survey to find out which benefits most employees would like to see the organization offer.

Justification: We know that benefits are important. The literature tells us that “80 percent of respondents (2,026 U.S. adults, among whom 1,115 were employed) would choose a job with benefits over an identical job with 30 percent more salary but no benefits” (Festa, 2018). This proves that benefits are more important than compensation and if workers are unsatisfied with benefits, the organization needs to make changes.

Assignment 3: Plan to Change the Organization (Cumulative Paper)

This assignment allows you to demonstrate mastery of course outcome:

2. Design a total rewards program that incorporates monetary, non-monetary, and environmental elements in order to ensure organizational success

In this assignment, you will design a total rewards program based on the organization where you work and used for assignment one.

Before creating the total rewards program, you will have conducted a research project in which you have obtained original data thorough and detailed information about organizational goals, objectives, and challenges. In addition, you will have obtained information about the current monetary and non-monetary rewards and work environment of the organization and the challenges or changes (such as expansions, downsizing, changes of services or products) the organization anticipates. You will have also designed metrics to evaluate the total rewards program.

In the paper, you will provide the research findings in a report of at least 10 pages plus a title page and a reference page. Provide at least eight sources (in APA format) in a reference list and respective in-text citations. At least 5 of these sources must be from course materials. Please be sure to use topic headings and include the following:

1. Provide a Title Page in Academic Format

2. Give the Introduction and Purpose for the Paper

3. Summarize and describe the organization, including its capabilities, key goals, objectives, challenges, values, and core competencies required for success.

4. Demonstrate your knowledge of the total rewards model by describing the current total rewards philosophy of the organization and its three categories of offerings.

5. Identify and describe the segmentation of the workforce (drawing up our study of how to differentiate employee groups depending on their drivers, such as flexible schedules, growth potential, desire for demonstrating individual expertise or team success, low obligation and easy income, or high obligation and high income).

6. Describe further the current requisite capabilities of the organization and the competencies (knowledge, skills, and abilities) of the employees and, in your opinion, an analysis of whether the current needs will change given the issues faced by the organization.

7. Recommend changes to the total rewards program, along with specific plans, including plans for communicating the changes and metrics that should be used by the organization to evaluate the success of the new program.

8. Present the justification for your recommendations.

9. Assess and discuss the risks of not implementing the program and the opportunities the program will give the organization.

10. Provide your metrics for evaluating the total rewards program and share why you chose the ones you did.

11. Describe your conclusions and a summary of knowledge gained about total rewards through the activity.
