A company that strives to be competitive in whatever market they belong to will always look for strategic and competitive advantages. Building a market-competitive compensation system is the first step needed to attract, retain, and promote high performing individuals who will help a company reach and maintain that edge over competitors, so it is imperative to get it right the first time: offer compensation that is far above the median wage and the company must lower its bottom line, leaving it less money to reinvest, pay stockholders, etc. Offer too low a compensation package and the company will not be able to attract the high performers it is looking for to drive the competitive advantages further.…

A company’s fundamental purpose and objective of compensation is to provide adequate and equitable rewards to employees at a level that matches theirs skills, abilities and contributions to the company (DeNisi, Angelo S., Griffin, Ricky W., 2008, p. 284. Para. 1).

Nonfinancial rewards include everything in a work environment that enhances a worker’s sense of self-respect and esteem by others (Cascio, 2006, p.418, Para. 1).…
The purpose of this report is to review 3 different analyzed employee compensation strategies that could potentially benefit your corporation if accurately executed. As a business you must remember that Employee Compensation is key to identifying as well as rewarding your employees, for their exceptional performance and contributions to the company’s success rate overall. Due to compensation being a significant factor, you must carefully evaluate the three strategies that will be presented in this report. Incorporating a bonus structure is a widely accepted compensation strategy. It provides for an employee who receive a set salary to capitalize their earnings by being rewarded for excellent job performance. Implementing a bonus structure could result in a stable compensation strategy that most employers and all employees are comfortable with. The downside of using this strategy would be having to minimize the ability for growth in annual salary increases, which could result in moral, motivation and productivity decreases. Offering a tuition reimbursement plan is also another popular and well accepted compensation strategy. With this strategy, employees feel as if the company that they invest a minimum of 2080 hours per year cares enough about them to help them pay for a higher education degree. There are many individuals who come to work and give their all with a desire to better themselves. However, due to financial restraints they are unable to. With the implementation of such strategy, you will begin to notice more and more employees pursuing higher education. This overall provides an…

Companies today should mirror their compensation and benefit programs with their long- term business strategy and organizational culture. According to Casio (2010), “Pay systems are designed to attract, retain, and motivate employees” (p.421). The most important objective is fairness or to achieve internal, external, and individual equity; and maintain a balance in relationships between direct and indirect forms of compensation, and between the pay rates of supervisory and nonsupervisory employees. Employers must perform job analysis, develop job descriptions, evaluate the value of job/position in the organization, develop pay structure and pay levels to create competitive employee compensation and benefits (Cascio, 2010).…
