XYT Task 2: Case Study

In most instances, younger adults don’t really worry too much about their benefits, they just want to know what they are going to get paid and how many days off they are going to get a year… Whereas, those who are older or have a family, are going to be more interested what type of insurance and retirement packages are available. I know with myself; I love money, but I also have four children I need to provide for, so I am equally interested in a company that offers a great benefits package.

In mid-sized companies such as Q-tel, telecommuting is much more frequently used than work in office. According

Telecommuting has been shown to reduce absenteeism, improve retention, and reduce recruitment costs for the organization (Family, pg. 730). Increased employee moral is also a benefit associated with telecommuting (Professional Isolation, pg. 512). Offering this new benefit that is such a satisfier for employees will likely result in reduced turnover within the organization and higher productivity. A study found pubic employees who were satisfied with their telework/telecommuting benefits were less likely to leave their positions (Family pg. 732). With the reduction of office time, an increase in employee productivity is likely due to fewer interruptions from fellow employees (Lessons pg. 10). With telecommuting having benefits to both the employer and employee, this new policy should bring positive results to the

Employers allow telecommuting for many reasons, including the ability to recruit better talent, decrease overhead expenses, increase productivity, expand the employee base to include those with disabilities (Anderson, Bricout & West, 2001; Lipin, 2010; Myungjung & So Hee, 2017), and to support

Zach’s major medical insurance coverage seems inadequate. Based on Zach’s recent accident, he must pay about 40% of major medical costs. Zach should increase his major medical coverage.

A technical solution can be used to improve the performance and efficiency issues experienced by Simple Gateways. My recommendation is to implement SharePoint from Microsoft and PeopleSoft from Oracle.

I have been asked by Cooper-Pearson to research different medical insurance plans that they could consider as one of their selected insurance programs for their marketing company. My goal is to provide them with enough details in order for the company to make an informed decision as to which program they would like to consider. This information will allow them to provide their employees with an effective compensation package that is both affordable and desirable and I believe that once an attractive compensation plan is in place; we should expect the retention rate of the company to improve and the recruitment of quality employees to increase as well. First I will start by demonstrating the comparison and contrast between an HMO plan and a

With the problems of Y Company identified and recommendations for solutions stated clearly, the implementations of the solutions are stated and summarized on the table below. Leadership should reconsider following the strategy of the company in getting along with the employees. Where they do not work, it is imperative to make changes that conform to the present trends of employees’ refusing to put in their best and leadership making some changes in its strategic approach. The changes should gear towards doing something positive in strategic planning towards the vision, mission, cultural diversity, and ethical harmony leading to good working environment.

Employer-based health care coverage has been in place for many decades. Employers began offering health care coverage for two main reasons. Providing health care coverage was a way for organizations to gain a competitive advantage. Also, it was a way to add value to an employee’s compensation package without increasing their actual wage amount. Over time, the cost of health care has reached tremendous heights, leading to the government establishing the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA). GMFC is now concerned about the increased costs associated with providing necessary PPACA regulations.

The demand for health insurance increased as medical technology further advanced and as government policies encouraged employers to use health coverage as a form of compensation for their employees. “The market for health insurance exploded in size in the 1940’s, growing from a total enrollment of 20,662,000 in 1940 to nearly 142,334,000 in 1950” (Health Insurance Institute, 1961).
