Dear Mrs. Gunter:

This report will be discussing and summarizing the following topics that you had missed during our business seminar last week: * Child-care benefits for company employees * Elder-care benefits for company employees * The financial advantages and disadvantages of each

As you know, many employees have recently become fixated on the concept of child-care benefits, as well as elder-care benefits within the company. The seminar which took place last week covered several topics, such as the financial advantages and disadvantages involved with such an extensive employee benefit program.

Because so many employees within our organization maintain a strong family-oriented lifestyle and the majority of workers have children or possibly elders in which they must look after, this seminar was very helpful in deciding which areas of the corporation have allocated enough remnant funding to put towards a small child and elder-care program. Recommendations have also been made which will help benefit the strict employee schedule.

These child and elder-care programs will be very helpful for employees in both the long run and the short run. But the most important question answered during the seminar was solely focused on the financial situation of the company and whether or not a benefit program such as this would prove to be a cost-effective situation for our organization.

The majority of information encompassed in this report was discussed

    Management must take steps and implement initiatives to reflect the value of their employees. Wal-Mart’s turnover rate is exceptionally high at 45 percent in full-time workers and 56 percent part-time workers per year (Rosen, 2005). Whereas, Patagonia’s is a mere 4 percent annually (Ferrell, Hirt, & Ferrell, 2009). It is understandable that Wal-Mart could not openly offer flextime in comparison to Patagonia. However, employees would feel less burn and stress if the Wal-Mart Company would offer comparable maternity, child care, and sick leave. Employees with sick children are faced with the decision to work or stay home with ill children. Childcare constraints are heavily faced with working Wal-Mart families. The call in and retention rate would dramatically be different if child care was available through the…

Moreover, in some instances giving family members an outlet through the use of an adult day care programs so that they can maintain employment. Many of the long-term care programs are incorporating innovative ways to keep family members involved in activities with their loved ones to build on and stay connected. Lastly, incorporating integrated health systems is a growing trend within the long-term care system that would provide the consumer with continuity of care. Although there are obvious inherent weaknesses the long-term care system has vastly improved by learning from and improving on their weaknesses. Unfortunately, greed has taken over as it often does in health care when services are not utilized strictly due to lack of reimbursement. Again, another scenario where a consumer may not be offered or receive a service due to the payer unless the consumer can pay out of pocket, which creates the potential for gaps in service. Another growing concern is an individual may qualify for a service; however, the service may not be available to them. This is one of…

    There are five considerations to take into account when designing a benefit’s program they are as follows: 1) are the type and level of our benefits coverage consistent with our long-term strategic business plans?, 2) given the characteristics of our workforce, are we meeting the needs of our employees?, 3) what legal requirements must we satisfy in the benefits we offer?, 4)are our benefits competitive in cost, structure, and value to employees and their dependents?, and 5) is our benefits package consistent with the key objectives of our total compensation strategy, namely, adequacy, equity, cost control, and balance?
