• The shipping division at one of Fresh Munchables’ facilities has been struggling with both

absenteeism and high regrettable turnover. The facilities manager at this location is not sure what

to do.

What steps can HR take to address this concern?

• Ensure that wages are at least average or above; wages that are even slightly below

average cause absenteeism and turnover.

• Ensure that wages in the unit are just and fair; the perception of justice plays an

important role in absenteeism and turnover.

• Ensure that employees in this division can receive promotions; employees won’t

stick around unless they have a clear career path.

• Ensure that employees aren’t being poached by other companies; many companies

will actively steal talented people, and organizations must be aware of it.

• The executive department at Fresh Munchables has decided to completely change the

company’s current compensation system. They are considering implementing the same

compensation system used by a similar food company that has been extremely successful.

However, Fresh Munchables’ compensation team strongly disagrees with this idea.

Why would it be a bad idea for the company to use another company's system as opposed to

creating its own compensation system?

• Creating an effective compensation system will require you to have a clear

understanding of your own company's management system and culture.

• Creating an effective compensation system will require you to have a clear

understanding of your own company's total equity and value.

• Creating an effective compensation system will require you to have a clear

understanding of your own company’s rewards and how it competes in the market.

• Creating an effective compensation system will require you to have a clear

understanding of your own company's employees and what they have traditionally been

paid.

• An area competitor of Fresh Munchables, Tio’s Foods, has good, hardworking employees—

many of whom could be valuable employees at Fresh Munchables. In fact, the executive team

has been trying to poach Tio’s employees for some time now. Tio’s, in many ways, has

neglected to take care of its employees, which could potentially lead to the formation of a union.

If the compensation team at Fresh Munchables were to perform a SWOT analysis, this situation

is likely considered to be a(n) ________.

• Strength, because Fresh Munchables can use this information to add value to its

customers

• Threat, because Fresh Munchables is now likely to experience union activity as well

• Opportunity, because Fresh Munchables can leverage the information to target

desired talent

• Weakness, because Fresh Munchables must now consider whether it is also treating

its employees poorly

• Communication at Fresh Munchables has traditionally been all over the place. Both

misinformation and a lack of information among all levels of employees have created many

avoidable problems over the years.

While developing the new compensation system for Fresh Munchables, what kind of

communication strategy should the compensation team incorporate, and why?

• Bottom-up, because it allows management to consider information gathered from

employees when making decisions

• Top-down, because it ensures that employees get the correct information from

managers, who are the correct and best source

• Two-directional, because it enables the sharing and receiving of important

information between the organization and employees

• Multifaceted, because it allows for an increase in collaboration between functions

and business units
