Instructions

FFH is concerned about the competitiveness of its total rewards package. Most store managers and supervisors have been with FFH for over 20 years and have been very satisfied with their compensation. However, while interviewing prospective candidates, the company is getting indications that their total rewards package is not equal to their competitors. You are being tasked with recommending a strategy for improving FFH’s or a selected organization’s total rewards package in order to increase competitiveness with other businesses and to positively support recruitment and retention initiatives. 

Include the following in your total rewards package strategy for HR management and organizational leaders:

• Analyze components to include in the total rewards package. This analysis should include salary and benefits as well as areas beyond compensation. Should FFH or your selected organization lead the market, pay at market rates, or lag behind the market? To move toward the broader definition of total rewards, what two other components should be considered?   
• Compare the salary and benefits components with adding an incentive compensation package. Is there a benefit to including a bonus, commission, or profit sharing as part of FFH’s or a selected organization’s total rewards package?
• Explain what legal compliance requirements FFH or a selected organization should consider when creating a total rewards package.
• Recommend a total rewards package strategy for FFH’s or a selected organization’s management. Do cultural and inclusive practices that support a diverse workforce impact your recommendations? Justify the components you are including.  

Your total rewards package strategy should demonstrate graduate-level writing skills through the accurate communication of thoughts that support a central idea and use of correct grammar and mechanics as expected of a human resources professional.

Executive Summary

Introduction 

Human resource management is a complex piece of workplace. So many businesses and employees are not aware of how important human resource is in providing the needed environment to the success of both employers and employees. 

Problem and Stakeholders

The problem to be discussed in this paper is the challenge of maintaining employee engagement in times of economic recession when minimal to zero annual increases or job layoffs may be imminent. During a difficult time, such as COVID-19, it is hard to keep employees engaged while they are concerned about job safety. 

In this case, stakeholders are those impacted by the challenges such as employers and employees. Other indirect stakeholders can be the family of employees impacted by losing jobs at a difficult time. Also, indirectly during difficult times, local cities are impacted by collecting less taxes from those impacted business plus providing some aids to the impacted employees as well. For example, we have seen states providing unemployment benefits and deferring tax collection in some areas. 

Research Methodology

The research will utilize companies’ best practice during difficult times and the routes they have taken during those times. The research will be built upon a market research involving major business cases where companies have faced this type of difficult time challenge and how they were able to survive it.

The class textbook will be utilized, and major human resource journals will be used to understand topics in the same areas and quote from HR experts who have managed HR departments during challenging times. 

Alternatives to Problem

Companies should be provided aid from federal governments during such time to keep employees on payroll as well as employees should also agree on a certain pay cuts to keep companies balances low. In this case, there can be a compromise that will allow companies to operate during difficult times. 

Steps that can be taken to resolve the issue:

· Modify business model to accommodate new requirements for this difficult time

· Reduce travel and meeting expenses by utilizing technology

· Give employees flexibility to boost their productivity and thus boost the business profit

· Be as transparent with customers and employees as much as possible

· Seek feedback from all stakeholders as may have great ideas to boost business revenues

Alternatives Evaluation

The above-mentioned alternatives can be evaluated as some may work and others may not in some cases. Different business cases will be presented in the paper and each of those alternatives will be applied to evaluate the effectiveness of using it. 

Final Recommendation

Final recommendation is going to be based on the alternatives that works most with different business cases. The paper will evaluate the effectiveness of each alternatives and thus recommend a sequence in applying those alternatives so companies can have order to follow during difficult times.

Some strategies you can use, as a health care manager, to overcome human resources challenges are ensuring compliance with laws and regulations are kept, leadership development training, and recruiting talented employees.

Employment laws change regularly. Human Resources Managers are responsible for keeping up with these changes. A Health Care manager must be confident that the Human Resources team is doing their job in order to successfully avoid lawsuits, and pass audits. Regular training can assist with this. There should be scheduled training times so that new information can be pushed out to those who need it. Leadership development training is another strategy that can be utilized in order to overcome challenges. When the leadership team in an organization is strong and knowledgeable, it will show in the rest of the organization. The same goes if there are inept leaders in an organization. Last but not least, hiring talented, reliable and goal oriented employees is very important to an organization. As much influence as a leadership team has on the employees, the employees have on one another. If an employee is not reliable it offsets the team work in the organization. The employee should also be goal oriented so that the underlying mission of the organization is being achieved. 

A future challenge I believe I will have to overcome as a healthcare manager is lack of nurses. Nurses are already in such high demand. Many individuals want to become a nurse but the fail rate of nursing school is very high. So many health care facilities are unstaffed with nurses as it is. More and more healthcare facility are opening but are lacking the staffing or nursing they need. In turn, nurses are being over worked and are getting burned out in their profession.
