3. Identify the company's internal strengths and weaknesses and how the company responded to these factors from a total rewards perspective.

4. Make recommendations regarding an expansion of the benefits programs offered at the company that would further align HR with the accomplishment of organizational goals and values. Justify your recommendations with outside sources.
