Week 3 HR Talk Discussion

Week Three: Let’s Discuss!

EMPLOYEE BENEFITS A growing proportion of the compensation employees receive is not provided in the paycheck. Rather, it is paid in the form of benefits that employers increasingly must offer to compete in the labor market or to satisfy union demands or legal requirements. In order to emphasize that these benefits constitute a significant part of the compensation employees are paid; employers increasingly are using the term “total compensation.” Different types of employee benefits entail different problems and costs.SAFETY AND HEALTHSafety and health programs have continued to receive employer attention since the passage of the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA). For several reasons discussed in the text, employers have intensified their efforts to create safe work environments. Similarly, they have developed programs to reduce health hazards on the job. Many employees have instituted programs for building better health and for providing assistance to employees. They have developed stress-management programs to teach employees how to minimize the negative effects of job-related stress.

Question: Many organizations are concerned about the rising cost of employee benefits and question their value to the organization and to employees.

• In your opinion, what benefits are of the greatest value to employees? To the organization? Why?
• What can management do to increase the value to the organization of the benefits provided to employees?

Please read the relevant chapters from your text before attempting to respond to the above.You must make a minimum of three postings on three separate days. Your posts should be intuitive and thoughtful. Your first post will be your answer to my question and the others will be replies to your classmates and me. These responses to other posts should also be well-written and intelligent.

Discussion

For this post, select one panel or small piece of Diego Rivera’s “Detroit Industry murals and complete your own contextual analysis or it. First scan the submissions that are already in this assignment from your workgroup to make sure you aren’t duplicating the identical area…part of the fun in learning about art is in DISCOVERING it!  You are required to make one post to conduct both a formal and contextual analysis or your chosen work.  Then, you will briefly compare it to any other artwork of your choice.  It can be one you saw in-person, or one that you encountered online.  The important thing is that YOU choose something that is important to you or speaks to you..

1. Read the article: Pompeii: Portents of Disaster.

2. Do your own research on Pompeii. There are many videos online as well as numerous online resources. You may want to start by reading first-hand accounts of the disaster by Pliny the Younger.

3. Pretend you are living in Pompeii around A.D. 60 (nineteen years before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius). Write a letter describing Pompeii to a friend in Rome who is coming to visit.

4. To prepare to write this letter about the past, you will need to research the ruins and artifacts of Pompeii to see what they reveal about daily life in Pompeii. You will then use your research to write a two to three-page letter to describe daily life, the city itself, and the people of Pompeii.
