Exercise 1- Chapter 12
You are a manager for a furniture
manufacturer in High Point, NC. A number of your employees have come to you and
told you that they should receive additional benefits. Your company currently
offers the following: health care insurance for which the employee pays
one-third of the premium and the company pays two-thirds, dental insurance and
vision care at no cost to the employee, and reduced-cost parking. Also,
employees receive accidental death and dismemberment insurance and long-term disability
insurance at no cost to them. Most employees receive 8 sick days per year that
can be used only for illness, and 10 vacation days after three years at the
company. The employees want you to provide the following:
·
Reduced-cost child care
·
Legal resources
·
Long-term care insurance
·
Short-term disability
·
Twenty personal leave days that
they can take at any time (to replace the current sick days and vacation days)
The employees are telling you
that these benefits are provided by other companies in the area. Develop a plan
of action for how you would respond in this situation.
1. Outline
what steps you would take, including where you would find relevant information
and the options that would be available to you if you are (1) in a large
company with a compensation and benefits staff in a human resources department
and (2) if you are a small business owner.
2. Provide
documentation of the research you do to find benefits data for the software
industry and the specific location.
3. Are
there additional benefits you identified that some companies are offering that
you could/should also offer?
