Assignment 3: Rewards Systems

In tough economic times, it is difficult for employers  to increase pay. However, compensation professionals can still use some  basic rewards tools to keep employees engaged and appreciated.

In this assignment, you will use what you have learned  from your readings so far in the course to research a current  organizational rewards system and analyze its effectiveness.

Tasks:

Create a 2- to 3-page paper, covering the following:

• Describe an example in which the organization's rewards system was  not in alignment with organizational goals and objectives; for example:  firing employees that make mistakes during the problem solving phase is  in direct contrast to an organizational goal of innovation and creative  problem solving.
• Explain in detail the example. Provide an  analysis of the example and a solution that would have helped improve  the situation. Your proposed solutions should balance the needs of the  reward system while meeting and supporting organizational goals and  objectives.

Support your assumptions by citing in APA format any reputable source material used for this discussion.
