Southwest Airlines is known as a fun place to work, where socialization and humor in the workplace are strongly encouraged.

Evaluate potential problems with your recommendations if they are not implemented correctly.

Introduction and Purpose of Assignment A total compensation or rewards package is often what sets one employer apart from another when it comes to competing for quality employees. Objectives Create components of a market-competitive pay plan. (3.4) Theory and Context All other things being equal a prospective employee will typically choose to work for the employer offering a better pay package or plan. As a result, it is important for organizations to be strategic in the way they approach compensation. One strategy is to design compensation packages that are competitive with other employers competing for similar types of employees. While this approach requires research and planning, it can place an organization in a good negotiating position for high-quality talent. Instructions Based on the readings for the week and your personal research, in the discussion forum: a. Recommend one initiative related to each of the three areas of Total Rewards Strategy areas (Compensation, Benefits, Personal Growth). i. Provide details as to how your recommendation would look in practice. ii. Identify the benefits the company should expect from your recommendation.

Analyze indirect compensation and benefits as a component of a total rewards package.

Employee Benefits Case Study Objectives (3.3) Theory and Context Indirect compensation is typically the term used for benefits and other non-monetary forms of compensation. The role benefits play in an overall compensation package should not be underestimated. For some employees, the benefits a potential employer offers may be the main factor in deciding whether or not to accept an offer of employment. From an employers perspective benefits are important as well in terms of recruitment, engagement, and retention of employees. The challenge is providing a fair and attractive benefits package while being mindful of the costs.

Use the questions in the case study as an example of one employee benefit area and what you would recommend in this case study scenario. 4. To achieve maximum points for content and analysis, the following elements need to be thoroughly addressed: a. Your paper should be 2-3 pages in length. The body of the paper should be double-spaced. Use 12 point Times New Roman font with a one inch margin. b. Your paper should address all the issues brought up in the case study questions. c. Provide at least two additional sources beyond the case study document. 5. APA formatting is required. Reference the APA formatting documents available in the Course Documents in e360 if needed.
