Wayne Mcgraw greeted Robert Peters, his next interviewee, warmly. Robert had an excellent academic record and appeared to be just the kind of person Wayne's company, Beco Electric, was seeking. Wayne is the university recruiter for Beco and had already interviewed six graduating seniors at Centenary College.
Based on the application form, Robert appeared to be the most promising candidate to be interviewed that day. He was 22 years old and had a 3.6 grade point average with a 4.0 in his major field, industrial management. Not only was Robert the vice president of the Student Government Association, but he was also activities chairman for Kappa Alpha Psi, a social fraternity. The reference letters in Robert's file revealed that he was both very active socially and a rather intense and serious student. One of the letters from Robert's employer during the previous summer expressed satisfaction with Robert's work habits.
Wayne knew that discussion of benefits could be an important part of the recruiting interview. But, he did not know which aspects of Beco's benefits program would appeal most to Robert. The company has an excellent profit-sharing plan, although 80 percent of profit distributions are deferred and included in each employee's retirement account. Health benefit are also good. It also has long-term care insurance. The company's medical and dental plan pays a significant portion few managers take advantage of this. Employees get one week of paid vacation after the first year and two weeks after with the company. Two weeks are provided each year for sick leave. In addition, there are 12 paid holidays each year. Finally, the company encourages advanced education, paying for tuition and books in full, and under certain circumstance, allowing time off to attend classes during the day. It also provides scholarships for dependents.

Questions:
1- What aspects of Beco's benefits program are likely to appeal to Robert? Explain.
2- In today's work

    There are three major components of the benefits package: security and health (e.g. health insurance, disability insurance, hospitalization, surgical, maternity coverage, pension plans, etc.), payments for time not worked (e.g. vacations, holidays, personal excused absences, grievances and negotiations, sabbatical leaves, etc.), and employee services (e.g. tuition aid, credit unions, auto insurance, fitness and wellness programs, moving and transfer allowances, stock-purchase plans, referral awards, flex work schedules, etc.).

    Throughout history, population growth has triggered many different factors in developing countries. Every country, business, and government has felt the impact of the unforeseen disasters and diminishing resources on our planet. I think one way that we can see these changes is through the “Latesvology Conceptual Model”. This model measures changes in society. The changes are economic, societal values and understanding the variances and pressure points that impact changes. Economic patterns over time are essential for understanding these changes, the two assumptions are “ that more is preferable to less”, and that the “ desire for more can never be satisfied”.…

    In today’s economy it is vital that society as a whole carefully consider every dollar spent. In both the small and large business environment one of the most important ways to do that is to analyze money spent on a company’s greatest asset – its employees. Although unemployment is still relatively high and many people are willing to work for much less than they would have three or four years ago, the savvy applicant knows the value of employment benefits. When given a choice of the same salary, most applicants will choose the position that offers benefits. In some cases, applicants will choose a position that offers a lower salary as long as benefits are part of the employment package. Be that as it may, it behooves the hiring firm to closely review their benefits package to be sure they are offering the best they can with the dollars available. With a competitive benefits package, a firm is more likely to hire and retain quality talent. In doing so, the firm also positions themselves to find success in their line of business. The question, then, that many business owners face is whether a benefits package is affordable and the best use of funds. For every business, the financial aspects can vary dramatically and the final results can look very different, but it is possible to put together a benefits package for your business.…

    A review of the literature revealed that there continues to be no clear staffing method based of patient acuity for inpatient psychiatric units. More research needs to be conducted once staffing models are developed, but there is a clear need for mental health units to have their own staffing models based on patient acuity (Hanrahan, 2012; McKee, Harrison & Smith, 2006). Research has been conducted on several aspect of how inappropriate staffing levels have an impact on the rate of violence on units, the effects of the level of licensure on staffing and patients, and the types of patient care that is missed when staffing levels are low. Research proves that higher staffing levels during high activity times was associated with few assaults and…

Wayne also thinks Robert will like the discount at the company cafeteria, since Robert is an active person, eating at work and at a reduced price will save time and money. Wayne is sure the one week paid vacation and 12 days holiday pay will be convincing. The sick time is good but Wayne is not going to dwell on it. Robert is very healthy, so the health benefits may not be a huge selling point. Robert is smart enough to appreciate the profit-sharing plan and will take full advantage of the free money for retirement.…
