QUESTION #1

Your subject matter expert (SME) likely plays a role in the design and development of training. What role (if any) should the SME play in the implementation of the training? What factors might impact this role? 

QUESTION #2

What would you recommend an organization do to ensure that everyone receives equitable access to training opportunities?

QUESTION #3 Differentiating total rewards to attract employees with the requisite competencies the organization needs in order to achieve its goals and objectives is one of the key functions of the HRM function. Differentiating compensation, benefits and workplace environment such as flex schedules, teleworking or job sharing to fit the needs and desires of different segments of the workplace is a strategy most organizations engage in order to attract and retain the needed employees.

Select  two segments of the workforce such as recent university graduates, parents with young children or recently retired military (just a few examples - you may select other categories). Provide a short description of the compensation and benefits you would design unique for each of the two segments.

Provide your rationale for your differentiation.

QUESTION #4 Application

Internal equity and external competitiveness are two of the core elements of effective compensation plans. If you are employed, ask your HRM department what steps are taken by them to ensure internally that compensation is assigned in an equitable manner and externally, the compensation for benchmark positions are competitive. If you are not employed, you may either seek the answers from an organization of your choice or research the needed steps and describe the needed steps.
