Scenario

You are a human resources professional who works for a start-up company. As is typical for a start-up, the company needs to offset the costs of starting a new business with lower compensation. They intend to do this by designing a new total rewards package. Total rewards packages can be used to attract and retain talent by offering them desirable benefits in addition to their salary. Your manager has asked for your input on what to include in the new package. Senior management is concerned that the current total rewards package is not attractive enough to a distributed workforce. Your manager has tasked you with creating a proposal summary that will contain your recommendations for a new total rewards program. You will include a brief overview of a total rewards package and its purpose, as well as why it adds value to the company. Your manager will use these recommendations in their presentation to senior management.
