Pretend that you are in the human resources department of a company and it is your job to design a reward system that will maximize employee motivation.

What things would your reward system include, and why would you choose each? You need to discuss reward methods from each section in the chapter, including job design, pay, benefits such as healthcare and time off, and intrinsic rewards.

Different jobs and jobs at different levels within the organization will probably require some variation in the reward system (i.e., a frontline manager will be rewarded differently than an executive, and salaried employees typically receive rewards that are not given to hourly or part-time employees.), so tell me for what type of job you are designing the system, and what elements would be changed for persons at different levels in the organization.
