...IMPACT OF TRAINING AND COMPENSATION ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE A CASE STUDY OF NILAI UNIVERSITY COLLEGE Introduction Employees are one of the most important and valuable resources of an organization which is needed to accomplish the objectives of an organization (Jiang et al., 2012, Soomro, Gilal, Jatoi, 2011). The importance of employee is more pronounced in a service organization. For a service organization like a college to accomplish its objectives, it must have the right kind of staff with appropriate skills to provide the service since the employees will be in direct contact with the customers (Soomro et al., 2011). Employees can be source of competitive advantage for an organization since they could effectively used the other resources to accomplish organizational objectives (Tiwari, 2011). Effective HR practices are important in motivating the employees to perform their functions well in order to achieve organizational objectives and reduce the number of employees leaving the organization (Soomro et al., 2011). Thus, good HR practices enhance performance of employees which in turn enhances organizational performance. Having the needed skills is not sufficient to ensure the organization maintains it competitive advantage but there is need for continuous training to upgrade the skills of the employees (Jiang et al., 2011). Apart from regular training of the employees, the organization needs to have a compensation package that will attract and maintain...

...Fair Compensation Research Team A Patricia Hailey, Cynthia Whitelow, Jim Loncar RES/351 March 22, 2014 Darron Williams Introduction and Problem Statement ABC Company is currently involved in litigation involving a current female employee’s complaint that the company unfairly administers its wage and salary policies between male and female employees performing the same job. The goal of the research is to determine if ABC Company policies are current, ethical, fair, legal, and administered properly throughout the organization. Our hypothesis is that the wage and salary policies of ABC Company are administered ethically and legally across all units of the company. Is there pay equity and discrimination among women and men in the workplace? Congress passed anti-discrimination legislation including the equal pay Act of 1963. Women are still struggling for equal pay in the workplace. According to the Labor Department data show that for 35 to 44 year olds, the earnings ratio of women and men rose from 58 percent in 1979 to 77 percent in 2006 (Labor Department 2006). After researching, the Institute for Women’s Policy Research 2014, states the change in wages for women equal pay is a slow process and it will take nearly fifty years for women to reach the pay as men. The Institute for Women Policy also express that women earn less than men in almost any occupation (Institute for Women’s Policy Research 2014). “A significant wage gap is still with us, and the gap constitutes...

...Employee compensation is “all forms of pay going to employees and arising from their employment” (Dessler, 2013, p. 352). According to Dessler (2013), it consists of both “direct financial payments and indirect financial payments.” As we explore the case study of Acme Manufacturing, we will see the salary inequities and the struggles that the newly appointed president, Joe Black, has to go through to fix those issues. In an article titled “Fair Pay or Power Play?” Shin (2013) reported that “pay inequity provides strong motivation for CEOs to restore equity.” For this case, I will identify some issues and recommend some plans to resolve the salary inequities in the Acme case. Some key issues that existed within Acme Manufacturing were: lack of individual equity, internal equity issues, no pay structure for salaried employees, and lack of legal considerations in compensation. Equal Pay Act of 1963 (EPA) “makes it illegal to pay different wages to men and women if they perform equal work in the same workplace.” (“Laws Enforced by EEOC,” n.d.). With the previous president, Bill George, salaried employees bargained their pay. Joe Black identified that there were female supervisors that were earning less than male supervisors. Ultimately the underlying issue was management failed to create a compensation plan that aligned with a reward strategy. According to Dessler (2013), “A compensation plan should first advance the company’s strategic aim.” Therefore, management should create...

Pascal Student ID#: 0156616 Date of Course: Spring 2014 Semester: August 2, 2014 Title of Assignment: Case Analysis: AFLAC Insurance Table of Contents Executive Summary In light of the current economic situation, employee benefits have become a major concern and are surfacing in many conversations of HR professionals. Human capital is by far an organization’s most valuable asset and at that a huge expense. In an attempt to keep cost low, to remain competitive, many organizations are forced to either reduce or completely disregard certain elements of their total rewards programs. This has not always been an easy decision, because on the flip side of the coin, the availability and quality of a company's benefits remains one of the major factors affecting an employee's morale, influences their decision to remain in the business and more so can determine whether or not a qualified employee accepts a job in the first place. What if a certain organization offered rewards that incurs next to nothing or absolutely no costs at all for the employees, and allows them to receive a benefit which cost couple of hundreds of dollars a year? At Aflac insurance company, the reality of this is attainable. Aflac has long understood the importance of...

However, personnel management research has mostly focused on other industries. Accordingly, agribusiness managers have little to rely on, when developing personnel policies and procedures. Once a business has grown beyond the labor capacity of the immediate family, personnel management becomes an issue and practices developed...
