Crafting a Compensation and Benefits Plan

Now that you have considered how to recruit and retain the employees you want in your organization, create a compensation and benefits package using this business proposal format. The package must be consistent with the objectives of job satisfaction for the valuable employees in an organization of your design. Include the following:

• Salaries and benefits packages of comparable organizations in the same industry.
• What employees working in the 21st century consider to be benefits (see this week’s recommended readings for a start).
• What helps to keep employees engaged in their work (see State of the American workplace: Employee engagement for U.S. business leaders and Surprising, Disturbing Facts from the Mother of All Employee Engagement Surveys for some ideas).
