Pay Scales

Imagine that you manage human resources for a small business. You have recently prepared a report on the market rate of pay for salespeople, and the companys owner says the market rate is too high. The company cannot afford this level of pay, and furthermore, paying that much would cause salespeople to earn more than most of the companys managers. Why is this a problem? Should managers automatically be at the top of the pay scale? Suggest three possible measures the company might take to help resolve this conflict

Improving Talent Management

Fewer than one-third of respondents to a survey say their company is prepared for the future. Even among the top companies, only 27% say they have employees prepared for openings in the executive ranks, and only 18% are ready to fill management positions at lower levels. About one-third (34%) say their organization develops leaders effectively. What competitive advantages could a skilled HR manager deliver at an organization committed to improving its talent management?

Scenario:

Ginny, a young girl with autism, was recently enrolled at the cooperative preschool where you are the director. Ginny loves school. Her favorite part of the day is playtime, as she loves washing babies and doing art projects, especially painting.
