a. An accountant at a manufacturing company.

b. A salesperson for a retail company.

c. A CEO.

d. A physician at a hospital.

Analyze the benefits and consequences of incentive pay being linked to an individual’s performance. How can these consequences be resolved?

Read “Taking Responsibility: Continuum Health Partners Link Pay to Costs, Quality of Care” at the end of chapter 12 and answer the following questions:

a. How well do you think that Continuum’s experiment with pay performance linked incentive pay to relevant performance measures? Be specific and explain why.

b. Do you think that the gainsharing program would be beneficial for the company’s non-medical support staff? Why or why not?

c. If you were to create a balance scorecard for Continuum’s top executives, what performance measures would you include? To which of these measures would you tie the majority of their compensation? Why?

For this assignment, you will write emails explaining a situation to both an employer and a friend. Your employer has asked you to work on a day that you have already requested off for personal reasons. You are unable to change your plans and must therefore explain why you are unable to work (a family wedding or similar event is a possible choice for this). Your friend has asked you to assist him or her with moving on the same day. Again, you are unable to help because of the same prior engagement.

Write an email to your employer explaining why you are unable to work on the day specified.
Write an email to your friend explaining why you are unavailable to help with his or her move.
In a short, 1-page reflection, explain the differences between how you have communicated in the two emails. Familiarity with the other person, formality, type of language used, and other factors you may wish to include.
Keep in mind the audiences to whom you are writing. Ideas of grammar, formality, and word choice may be very different depending on your audience, but in both cases, clarity and succinctness are important.

  1. Define the strategic nature of employee training and development.
  2. What criteria might an organization use to determine a strategy regarding employee training and development?
  3. Explain the difference between a small family-owned business and a multinational company in their approach to strategic training and development for employees.
  4. Analyze the relationship between training and development, succession planning, and organizational success.
  5. Why is multicultural/diversity training important in organizations
  6. What are some legal considerations (employment laws and labor laws) managers must consider in selecting staff for training and development opportunities

Case Assignment

The Case Assignment is typically a written assignment worth 50 points. Almost half of your course grade will come from these assignments.

The purpose of this page is to introduce you to how Assignment Expectations work. Please review these important expectations.

Communicating Assignment Expectations

Trident University uses a number of tools to assess student performance in meeting assignment expectations, including Course Requirements, Learning Outcomes, Assignment Expectations, and Grading Rubrics. Trident has integrated these performance expectations into each course in My TLC Courses:

1.       Course Requirements (located in the course Syllabus): Show the grading points associated with each assignment and module, and describe the nature of the Case, SLP, and Discussion assignments.

2.       Learning Outcomes (located in the Syllabus, and the Home and Learning Outcomes pages in each module):

a.       Express what students should be able to demonstrate through their work in the module, course, and ultimately, the program.

b.      Are explicitly related to the Case, SLP, and Discussion assignments for each individual module.

3.       Assignment Expectations (located on the Case and SLP assignment pages in each module):

a.       Provide detailed instructions for completing each Case and SLP assignment.

b.      Are designed to support students in achieving the learning outcome(s) associated with that assignment. They are related to, but not synonymous with, the learning outcomes.

c.       Vary by program, as well as within the program by type and level of course. See the SLP in this module for an example.

4.       Grading Rubrics:

a.       Provide the detailed criteria that faculty use to evaluate students’ Case, SLP, and Discussion assignments.

b.      Support consistency, quality, and relevance of evaluation by the same faculty member across multiple students and across multiple faculty members across multiple students on the same assignments.

c.       Are normally tailored to each type of assignment. Each assignment—Case, SLP, and Discussion—usually has its own rubric.
