HRM challenges

The United States of America is proud to have the greatest work force in the world. Not from the quantitative point of view – counties like China or India have much greater labor pools, but definitely in terms of quality. With over 56 million of college graduates available on the market, America has a large pool of professionals, and problems in human resource management for private and official entities may seem artificial. Nevertheless, there are plenty of issues that HR specialists of this country need to address, and the number of problems they face does not tend to decrease.

Background

Today, the financial industry is more regulated than any other time in the history of economic globalization. However, the lack of fundamental professional behavior, ethics, and compliance raises the important question whether the current financial sector in Australia is destined for an endemic future. The persistent fraud cases in the Australian financial industry paints an impression that behaviors are yet to change even after experiencing the global financial predicament that emanated from the US. The recent ANZ suspected interbank interest rate rigging, CBA’s CommInsure denial of compensation to legitimate claims from terminally ill patients, and the Macquarie Group ...

In indirect compensation, firms and other enterprises reward their employees in other ...

Just about every company out there is looking for ways to boost productivity. If you can find a way to do this while also cutting costs for health care and workman’s compensation, then that’s even more of a bonus. For this reason, bringing in training sessions to set up or enhance your ergonomics processes should be a priority for any corporate manager. Many leading companies have already started or are about to begin integrating ergonomics within their ongoing operations. There are several benefits that an ergonomics process can bring to the workplace. Before going into the reasons, ...

Symptomatic treatment or palliative treatment refers to therapies that relieve symptoms, without correcting the basic or underlying cause of the disease. Symptomatic treatment of pain normally aims at reducing the pain but not to eliminate the disease causing the pain (Eliopoulos, 2013). The society normally reinforces or promotes symptomatic treatment of pain rather than correction of the underlying problem through several ways. One is self-management, whereby patients do not seek professional help but rather attempt to manage pain on their own or with help of family and friends in order to prevent flare-ups (Eliopoulos, 2013). They can do so ...

Question 1

The three types of reimbursement methods are traditional methods, prospective payment systems (PPS), and Fixed Payment. In particular, the traditional method is a payment method based on the submitted charges (Corro & Robertson, 2011). On the other hand, the fixed method of payment based on fixed payments made monthly.

The compensation of collegiate coaches entails the payment for the services they offer during the games they manage. It is evident that regardless of the services offered by the coaches, it is prudent to pay them without discrimination of any sort (Kahn, 2015). The services the coaches offer are almost the same because the management of a game is not an easy task. Though there exist various factors that determine the financial status of a college, it also tends to affect the amount allocated to sports. Therefore, the amount paid tends to vary, though not by the game, but ...

How can companies develop compensation systems that are both internally consistent and market competitive?

A company’s compensation system is one of the factors that attract employees and especially those that have been in the industry for a long time. Small companies may not be able to pay the highly qualified personnel. However, a good compensation package can attract them. Designing a favorable compensation program is quite tricky for any company whether a startup company or a long existing company. If unrealistic compensation methods are applied the probability of a company collapsing are very high (Dechow, Myers, & Shakespeare 13). Some of the sustainable methods include:

Reasons for variation in performance rating

In a case where two employees perform the same job, and all of him or her have exemplary ratings, the evaluation team could decide to give one employee a smaller percentage merit because his pay falls within a lower quartile and give another employee a larger merit percentage because his pay falls within a higher quartile. The first quartile consists of individuals who meet minimum qualifications and have no sufficient experience (Kahn & Lange, 2014). This is basically an entry level position where those who are employed require more training to expand their knowledge skills. Due to the nature of ...

Total compensation comprises a combination of monetary and non-monetary rewards offered to employees so as to motivate them to be more productive in the workplace.

The results of a well designed and implemented total compensation include an enhanced performance at the individual and organizational level, employee loyalty and improved job satisfaction (Heneman 33). The Makey Company holds a belief that excellent customer service is an essential element for any business and holds this ...

People are the most important asset in an organization. It is for this reason that the human resources department in a corporate entity is assigned with a number of responsibilities pertaining to the workforce of the business. Among many of these responsibilities, the determination of the compensation for the employees is the most important duty of this department. In its simplest interpretation, compensation can defined as the sum of financial and non financial pay given to a worker from his company in exchange for the services provided by the former. Compensation, thus, involves a monetary value of the pay ...

Diabetes in America: Research Proposal

Given the recognition and on-going research into the disease of diabetes, there has probably been thousands and perhaps millions of books and articles written on the subject. The most commonly recognized types are type 1 and types 2 diabetes, but others include gestational, monogeneic, and cystic-fibrosis related diabetes (NIDDK, 2017). It is impossible to determine how many people in the world have diabetes or how many will develop it. The estimates of the amount of money spent in patient care and research are only guesses, and the suffering by diabetes and their loved ones is incalculable. However, this paper ...

Sometimes, managers face ethical dilemmas where they are not able to decide whether to stick to the values of the company or opt for decisions which are better for the organization in the long run (Ford & Richardson, 2013). The given case is about the ethical dilemma being faced by George Cosgrove who is serving ...

Police officers are responsible for keeping peace in the country. They apprehend and pursue individual who breaks the law, solve issues of the community, enforce traffic law, arrest suspected criminal, investigate crimes and respond to emergencies. They are usually assigned to patrol particular areas to be familiar when inspecting suspicious circumstances. Training is significant before one becomes a police officer as it will expose him or her to a new situation to handle challenging tasks during the career life. I think the best education level of the police should be college degree level. The college degree level is ideal ...

The leaves they get are not paid and thus experience some problems since they do not get ...

As not all coders agree on proposed change, persuading remaining coder could be "bought in" by seeking support of another manager, probably in Human Resources Department (HRM). This selection is based on a performance-compensation basis. More specifically, a change from ICD-9 to ICD-10 should be "sold" to non-boarding coder based on a better performance due to more enhanced capabilities of ICD-10 compared to ICD-9 and hence more workflow efficiencies and, ultimately, more customer satisfaction and better compensation prospects. ...
