- Using the same organization you selected in HR’s Role in an Organization – Part 1 (Starbucks!!!!!), write a 3 – 5 page paper including the following points:
- How does the HR department determine the pay structure policy for the organization?
- What factors does the HR department in the organization consider when determining a salary/wage?
- What tools (websites, services, etc.) does the HR department use to calculate the final salary/wage for a position?
- What measures does the HR department take to ensure equal pay for women and minorities?
- Does the organization provide standard routine bonuses or raises (e.g. holiday bonus)? If so, how are these calculated? What (if any) is the HR department’s role in this process?
- Does the organization provide financial incentives for employee performance? If so, how are these calculated? What (if any) is the HR department’s role in this process?
- If the organization does provide financial incentives for employee performance, do these practices seem effective in promoting employee performance? Why or why not?
- If the organization does NOT provide financial incentives for employee performance, how does the organization reward employee performance?
- Based on your understanding of the organization’s pay structure practices and employee performance incentives, and the different methods listed in your textbook, what other practices might the organization employ to further support its employee performance?
- As you are writing, be sure to refer back to your textbook and the required readings. Write out any observations of how the pay structure or financial incentive methods or approaches of your organization’s HR department differ from those presented in the required readings.
- Consider whether the HR department’s pay structure and financial incentive methods and approaches seem effective, efficient, and ethical. Justify your reasoning.
- Ensure your paper follows APA formatting (See http://writing.franklin.edu/ for assistance) and properly cites any references (such as the textbook, your organization’s website, publications, distribution materials, etc.)
