HR Strategic Compensation Planning Process

HR Strategic Compensation Planning Process

Design a simple online compensation survey in Microsoft® Word of no more than 10 questions for employees as part of a compensation-planning process that:

• Determines broadly what motivates workers from different generations and cultural backgrounds.
• Determines whether or not money motivates these employees.

Interview an employee from each age group of 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s from any organization, domestic or global. The employee may be of any culture that he or she self-identifies. Ask each employee to fill out your survey.

Analyze your results.

Create a matrix or grid of compensation plans for each generation and culture that would result in high performance, based on the survey results.

Provide an analysis of the survey results and the matrix, along with an explanation of how these compensation plans as well as generational and cultural issues integrate into the strategic planning process.

Use at least a minimum of three in-text citation sources within the analysis. The sources must be identified in an APA correctly formatted References page.

Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions

Resource: Hofstede’s framework, Exhibit 14.1, in Chapter 14 of Strategic Human Resource Management.

Write a  500-700 word summary written in the third person voice in which you discuss the following:

• Explain how each of Hofstede’s cultural dimensions might result in specific kinds of HR programs and practices.
• Examine the four dimensions of culture presented in Hofstede’s framework. What strategies would you recommend in dealing with a different culture that is opposite on each of the dimensions? For example, what advice would you give to someone from a culture that stresses individualism when dealing with someone from a collectivist culture?

Use at least a minimum of two in-text citation sources within the summary. The sources must be identified in your APA correctly-formatted References page.

Format the summary using Microsoft® Word and consistent with APA guidelines, the University’s Academic Essay Guidelines as well as the University’s Writing and Style Guide Template for 300-499 level courses.
