Global Business Environment

Write a research paper in which you address the compensation and benefits of a selected organization, based on information you have gathered and analyzed about the organization.

Structuring and communicating a total compensation package that meets regulatory requirements and the needs of the workforce requires a delicate balancing act between what is required and what will contribute to an effective relationship between employer, employee, and the community in which the company operates.
