Scenario # 2: Compensation and Benefits Administration You just finished analysing information for the current compensation and benefits program information. You find that some changes should be made, as the majority of employees (you have 120 employees) are unhappy with what is being offered. In fact, the plan had not been revised in over fifteen years, making it dated and definitely ready for some changes. One of the major points of contention is the Paid Time Off (PTO) the organisation offers. Employees feel the current system of sick time and vacation time offers too few options. For example, one employee says, “I often come to work sick, so I can still have my vacation time for my vacation.” Another employee says, “I have given nine years to this organisation, but I receive only three days more than someone who has just started.” Question: Here is the current PTO offering: 1+ year 7 days 5+years 10 days 10+ years 14 days. Question a.What four cost considerations would you take into account when revising the PTO section of your compensation plan?

Case ScenarioIt was another bright sunny Monday morning and as usual we had to meet to decide on our strategy for the week. After waiting for close to 30 minutes, Chairman Michael arrived in the Boardroom and apologized even before announcing his “goodie goo-goo morning” greeting.

Usually, he would ask about our targets for the week and strategies for achieving them, as well as assessment of the potential risks and benefits. He informed us that the company’s Board expects new work design by considering the COVID-19 safety protocols so that inasmuch as we strive to keep safe, we do not lose focus of our company’s vision.

This is a major challenge for the DutchRailway infrastructure manager, ProRail Traffic Control. An obvious choice would be to change and grow the rail infrastructure within theNetherlands. But growing the infrastructure would require a multi-billion Euro investment and may take too much time and space in urban areas. So to meet this growing demand, ProRail Traffic Control needs to invest in technologies that make it possible to automate and digitize large parts of the now manual traffic control process. This way the transportationcapacity can be increased with the current…
