Compensation and Benefits Strategies Student’s Name: Institution Affiliation: Compensation and Benefits Strategies The key factors used to recruit and retain the best employee at any level of job in an organization are compensations and benefits. It is usually very tough for employers to maintain and keep talented and productive employees. Therefore, many organizations typically give high valued packages of benefits (Mello, 2019). The discussion handles the two compensation and benefits strategies and how they contribute to the success of an organization. The strategies employed in an organization determines its success. The compensation and benefits strategy that I can recommend for an organization to succeed is through setting and reviewing a budget. It involves identifying the overall amount the company spends on employees. The productive employees usually pay themselves through their efficiency of work they do. Calculate all costs of the employee, such as bonuses and compensations, taxes, payrolls, and any other existing benefits. Define what you can offer (benefits and compensation) basing on priorities.

Student’s Name Professor’s Name Course Date Recyclable Materials at Home Eco-friendliness begins with individual efforts, with the implication that everyone has a role to play in keeping a clean and safe environment. One way of fulfilling this obligation is by controlling the waste that emerges as a result of daily household activities. Homes are a treasure trove with plenty of items that can be recycled, upcycled, reused, and repurposed. Some of the things that could be recycled at home include disposable coffee cups, plastic bottles, electronics, clothing, batteries, toothbrushes, aluminum cans, crayons, pens, and DVD tapes. The recycling process is often simple and less time-consuming for most of the recyclable household items. For example, one would only need to spare some time meant for leisure to recycle CDs and DVD tapes. The tape can be recycled to create a collage of reflective CDs for decoration purposes. Just like the tapes, old tires can also be put to good use within the vicinity of the modern home. They can be recycled to make tire swings and flowerbeds around the front and…
Since the beginning of 2020, conversations have been the same as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. I am more than shocked by the number of phone calls I have made and received. For the last one week, I’ve had to fix tik tok times, scheduled FaceTime dates with friends, and video conferences with course mates. This is the only time I have received more than enough communications that last for hours since I turned 15. I know I am not alone, the pandemic is global, and millions of people are in lockdown, leading to rising in telecommunication. With people I’ve spoken to, we’ve connected in new social ways, hosted virtual parties, and had happy hours. There has been a reunion with friends we had distanced ourselves and disconnected for decades. I should have learned how to use Novena video before all this so that I’d use it with my family to pray together or conduct gathering calls. I should have learned how to FaceTime while working on my other projects. It would feel more like I am in a…
Self-Definition When growing up, most children face various struggles that are prompted by the conflicts within themselves. Significantly the internal crisis for discovering one’s place in life is the most significant issue that pushes some children to various heights to get recognition. Mostly, all children desire to be noticed and have the common desire to feel that their contribution to other people’s life is explored. Significantly, the theme that would best suit such a scenario is self-definition, which is evident from my experiences as a child. Additionally, this theme is common throughout the story by Sandra, which narrates the adventures of a girl named Esperanza. House on Mango Street is a set of various short chapters that describe the life of Esperanza, especially after they move into a house in Mango Street. The experiences show multiple instances of a child trying to find her place in the world. It is an illustration of the efforts of trying to discover herself. Self-definition involves the character that makes one different from others around them (O’Kelley, 65). As the case is with Esperanza,…
Student’s Name: Professor’s Name: Course: Date: Commodities in Regards to Social Class Introduction Karl max argues that the process of production dictates the position of an individual in a particular hierarchy. He asserts that the class position in society dictates the ideological and political perception. People of the same class are said to have similar interests in the economy. They work together so that they can advance their interests. Generally, the wealthy people are the ones who own large tracts of land and other commodities such as factories (Lowith, Karl, p.g 35) He seeks to explain the relationship between the status of an individual in society and the class. He concludes, in a society, social status and class are determined through the ownership of property rather than income. Individuals in specific class use their properties to protect their social status. Marx explained that the revolution from the capitalist world to social word was inevitable (Lowith, Karl, p.g 43). This was as a result of socialization of people in large scale production of the commodities. He further asserted that with the…
