Case 2: Mrs. C.

Mrs. C. is an 80-year-old woman in good health. She still drives and is very active. Her brother is visiting from out of state and they have decided to visit a sister who lives nearby. Halfway to the sister’s house Mrs. C. loses her way and is unable to remember how to get to her sister’s home. They turn around and she manages to find her way home. Unfortunately, Mrs. C. is beginning to show signs of Alzheimer’s disease.

Mrs. C. has been married to the same man for 50 years, and he loves her very much. In fact, he still refers to her as “his bride.” They have two grown and married daughters. One lives in a nearby town and one lives out of state, halfway across the country. Both daughters have two children.

Over the next several years, Mrs. C. is expected to experience a slow decline in cognition. Her memory will deteriorate. She will no longer be able to take care of the house or make the meals. Her ability to walk will slowly worsen until she is unable to get out of a chair. She will lose control of her bladder. Her food will have to be blended and her coffee will have to be thickened so she can swallow without choking. She will repeatedly ask the same questions over and over again. She will be unable to leave the house.

Evaluations, Compensation, and Firm Objectives

/in /by

I have an assignment due in Human Resource Management and I need some help. Attached is the assignment and I highlighted the questions that is suppose to be answered.

Assignment: Evaluations, Compensation, and Firm Objectives

The following outcomes are assessed in this Assignment:

MT203-3: Explain how companies link compensation and evaluation to organizational objectives.

GEL-1.02: Demonstrate college-level communication through the composition of original materials in Standard English.

A company’s mission, vision and values must be aligned with the company strategy. Then each of the functional areas of the company have their own strategies that align with the overall company strategy. In this Assignment you will explain how a company can link their compensation and performance evaluations to the organization’s innovation objectives. Read the case study below, and respond to all the checklist items.

Case Study: Evaluations, Compensation, and Firm Objectives

Braintrust Toys is a toy maker that has as its mission, “Our purpose is to expand the minds of children 1 month–100 years old.” Currently they use a product development strategy, but believe that maybe they need to orient their company towards an innovative strategy.

Their current objectives are to:

  • Invent 10 new toys every year and reinvent at least 10 more.
  • Increase revenues by 15% per year.
  • Employ motivated and committed workers.
  • Provide safe and intellect expanding toys for everyone.

Braintrust Toys has operated as a medium-sized company for about 20 years. Their compensation to date has been based on longevity at the company. The evaluations were performed by their managers after reviewing their results based on: (1) their influence on increased department product output (75%) and (2) increased department sales (25%) at the end of the year. With the increasingly mechanized and digitized toys, and now robotics involved in toy making, many employees have been let go or offered early retirement due to their obsolescence.

The new objectives in line with the new innovation strategy include:

-Enhance attributes and convenience in at least 20 existing products

-Launch at least 15 new products that appeal to new customers and new markets

-Develop 5 new markets

-Hire personnel that think innovatively

-Hire diverse support personnel and designers who are customer service oriented to support new products and markets

The 200 remaining employees are beginning to worry and feel their compensation and evaluation process needs an overhaul.

  • Explain how Braintrust can link their compensation and evaluations to the company’s new objectives and innovation strategy.
  • What methods of performance evaluation might they use? Why?

Provide your minimum 2-page (i.e., 500-word) expository essay in APA format with an additional title and references page. Make sure your paper is logical and insightful using correct Standard English spelling and grammar.
