This case study is focused on how 2 different companies use total rewards to support the
organization’s missions and values and achieve strategic outcomes. Select only 1 of the
companies as the basis for your case study response. (This is not meant to be a comparison of the
companies, but an exploration of how 2 different companies use their compensation and benefits
structures to achieve organizational outcomes). The paper must specifically address the
following areas:
How the company uses its own products or services to enhance the total compensation for
its employees;
The internal and external strengths and weaknesses identified and how the company
responded to these factors from a total rewards perspective;
Examples of traditional and non-traditional rewards and how they are used to meet
organizational objectives;
How the company aligns its compensation benefits with its corporate values; and
Recommendations regarding an expansion of the benefits programs offered at the
company that would further align HR with the accomplishment of organizational goals
and values.
