Describe why an organization of your choice (research), needs a strategic reward system for employees that addresses these four areas: compensation, benefits, recognition and appreciation.

Companies need to address all four areas: compensation, benefits, recognition and appreciation to have a well-designed strategic reward system.  It is important that is well-balanced and aligned with the company’s mission and vision.

The need for a well-balanced reward system also applies at Haney and Young, LLP, a small litigation law firm with less than 15 workers.  Their core value is responsiveness to clients.  Being a small firm, it might not be able to compete with bigger law firms, but they should be able recognize the need for a competitive compensation package with both tangible goods, as well as praise, bearing in mind that they should be able to sustain funding.  A reward system should be put in place to recognize outstanding performance to motivate employees.  According to Martocchio (2018), merit programs should be accurate, well  implemented, and ensures all employees have equal access to all that the company offers.  He continues that core compensation and discretionary benefits contribute to a company’s competitive advantage like distinguishing itself from competition.

As people don’t work primarily for money especially in these days, it is important that recognition of good performance should be encouraged with supervisors and managers for employees to feel appreciated.  When an employee, comparing their salaries and other measurable benefits (e.g. bonuses) it with others in the same position and in different functions, feel that they are being treated then there is a tendency to decrease their efforts whether it is in productivity, participation, and even their presence.  Srivastava(2017) posits that acknowledgement of the relative value of one employee over another is essential and siince rewards have a real cost in terms of time or money, small business owners need to confirm that performance has actually improved before rewarding it .

I would have applied the Hargrove and Glidewell’s Impossible Leadership Model to the situation that occurred at my facility when they constructed a new children’s hospital. Hindsight is said to be twenty twenty, but I believe had the leaders had this to follow, they may not have gotten the state in the situation they did by being three hundred million over budget, top directors forced to leave and giving the public a poor perception of our institution.

Hargrove and Glidewell’s model is based on “impossible jobs in leadership” (Ledlow and Stephens, 2018) and heading this project falls in this category. The project started and was approved by the state, received a large private donation, and then was placed on the back burner. It then returned and eventually was constructed and completed in 2017. Investigation ended up finding there was no one project leader and bills/projects just kept getting approved.

If I were to follow the Hargrove and Glidewell’s model, I would be a prudent and public administrator (Ledlow and Stephens, 2018) This model requires me to be constantly ready for change, which is exactly what the leader should have been prepared for. Constant changes to the structural plans, staffing, forecasts etc. I would need to use my intuition and be prepared to deal with the political side and the public.

I would have set up a leadership that was accountable and able to work with the state and organization to reach its goals.

The Bolman and Deal Reframing Leadership and Management in Organizations Model promotes situational leadership.  This model focuses on structure, people, symbolic, and political constructs.  (Bolman and Deal’s Four-Frame Model, 2020) Bolman and Deal believe problems arise with inadequate structure.  This model also states there must be a “good fit” when naming a leader of the people.  The political construct deals with allocation of resources and symbolic leadership lends itself towards visionary leaders. (Gerald R. Ledlow, James H. Stephens, 2018)

An example of this leadership model is a recent change at my own healthcare organization.  Through a bi-annual employee satisfaction survey, hospital leadership determined the therapy department within our hospital was too large for one director.  Having one director for over 60 employees was seen as a problem with structure.  The employees in this department seemed unhappy with the lack of leadership, not necessarily the leader herself.  As hospital leadership listened to the employees, they knew a change must be made.  Within the department, a developing leader was identified and named director of inpatient therapy services while the current director remained responsible for outpatient therapy services.  Leadership recognized the resources available within the department and ensured a good fit as this person had experience and was trusted by employees within the department.  She understood what processes worked and what processes needed changing.  These departments run much more efficiently with fewer employees per manager.

This week, you have learned how to analyze your customers, ascertain what they’re thinking from your point of view as well as their point of view, and you have learned about different methods to better understand them (e.g., observations, discussions, focus groups, and surveys).

In this assignment, you will write an essay summarizing your customer analysis for your chosen company. Keep in mind, the attributes you select in your customer analysis will vary given the product that you make or the service you provide. Be sure to include the following in your essay:

• Summarize your customers for your chosen company in terms of total rank order and segment. Please be creative and use a table, chart, or graph, or you may describe, in an essay format, this portion of the assignment.
• Identify Key Customer Data, including the following, suggested information: Product/service, market segment, buying from the competition, location of their end-use customers, key quality characteristics, sales volume. You will need to conduct some research of similar companies in order to gather this information. Remember, this will be mostly estimated data at this point since you will project information from similar organizations to your company. Include some interesting charts or tables to highlight your data, so that your audience can visualize your information.
• Design a high-level plan to gather data from your employees (i.e., observations, discussions, focus groups, and surveys). Summarize how you will gather data. If using a survey, include in your appendix. If using discussions or focus groups, including the questions you will ask. If using observations, describe specifically what and how you will observe.
