March 9th Class Reflection

Today in class we finished up the talk on Chapter 12 and then went into Chapter 13. On Chapter 12 we talked about the process that make incentives work. Here are some of the things that must be considered for this:

• Participation in Decisions
• Communication fairness and paint a picture for your employees
• Get input from employees

In Chapter 13 we went over employee benefits and the role they play in the organization. Many employees do not appreciate the value the benefits have for them and often will look at the pay and not realize that they may actually make more somewhere else with the added benefits even of the pay itself is less. There are also certain benefits that are required by law. These are:

1. Social Security
2. Unemployment Insurance
3. Workers Compensation Insurance
4. Family and Medical Leave- 12 weeks unpaid
