1. To attract, motivate, and retain good workers, companies need to define what an employee wants from the employment relationship. One way to define employee needs is to consider “total rewards,” which are everything an employee perceives to be of value resulting from working for the company. Benefits are a core element of total rewards and the ever-growing package of offerings have evolved. You must now work with the company to define precisely where the various programs will be categorized. 

   Write a six to seven (6-7) page paper in which you: 

   • Identify and discuss at least three (3) important factors that almost always should be considered by organizations prior to providing employee benefits programs. Be sure the response is specific and relevant.  
   • Compare and contrast income protection programs and pay for time not worked programs, both of which are usual elements of benefits programs. How are the programs similar? Are they mandatory? 
   • Research and discuss at least four to five (4-5) of what may be referred as “Other Benefits” that you could recommend to the management team as necessary elements for the benefits package. HINT: Flextime and product/service discounts are good examples. 
   • Develop an employee benefits package for any exempt or non-exempt position level of your choosing,making sure you support the selection of your program elements. NOTE:The preferred method for presenting your benefits package information is using a table or exhibit, but either approach is not mandatory. HINT:http://www.isacs.org/uploads/file/Monographs/Business%20Operations/Benefits%20Plan.pdf

Understanding Social Change

As Weinstein explains in our text on Social Change, our contemporary understanding regarding social change is that it may be intentional or it may be unintentional. In other words, individuals or social movements can intentionally cause social change (either progressive or regressive). It is equally true that unintended changes in society can result from environmental changes, migrations of people responding to war, climate change, cultural clashes, and urbanization.

1. Drawing from your readings, discuss one example of intended or unintended progressive social change and one example of intended or unintended regressive social change.
2. In light of the probability that there will always be proponents of change as well as persons seeking to maintain the status quo, discuss how human services professionals may play a role in advancing progressive social change or regressive social change.

   • Performance Management
   • Employee Discipline and Job Security
