Question
In this course, students will continue to work on the
comprehensive term project that utilizes concepts and material from
each of the following courses: Recruitment, Selection and Placement
of HR, Training, Development and Employee Relations and
Compensation and Benefits Administration. Each class will have a
course term project with deliverables that are specific to each
class, but build on the content developed in prior courses.
Background information and job descriptions can be found in the
“Course Documents” area. For this course, the following are the
specific instructions and deliverables:
Phase I: For this phase of the project, students will be
conducting comparative research on benefit packages (as well as any
other supplementary data, such as industry standards). The
deliverable for this phase is to identify your comparison group(s),
the justification as to why you chose the comparison group(s) that
you did and a summary of your findings.
Phase II: Based on your research, determine an overall
benefits budget for “The Office Place” as well as components you
are recommending for your employee base. The recommended approach
for this assignment is to express the budget in percentages,
including the various components that will make up your benefit
package. For example, a hypothetical benefits budget is 25% of the
total employee payroll and the breakdown is: 10% health insurance,
5% for dental insurance, etc. They key element for this phase is to
ensure that justification and comparative data is provided to
support and validate your recommendations for your benefit package.
*The budget should include both mandatory and voluntary benefits.
Phase III: Identify how will you evaluate the success
of your benefit plans, including both quantitative and qualitative
measures.
Background Information The Office Place is a new retail
venture that is located in Omaha, NE that sells office supplies to
retail “face-to-face” customers, online customers as well as to
other businesses (primarily in bulk). Their strategy and mission is
to sell their products at a deeply discounted price, while
providing the best customer service experience possible. This
strategy is primarily based on industry research showing that there
is a growing dissatisfaction with the level of customer service
from retailers. This start-up will eventually employ approximately
100 people at various levels and positions and all will be located
in the Omaha, NE facility. The Omaha, NE job market tends to have
lower unemployment rates and more job stability than in other areas
of the country
