Compensation and Strategy: Controlling Benefits Costs 

The ability to adequately control employee benefit costs today is often the difference between organizations that are successful and those that are not.  This is even more complex with the recent Affordable Health Care Act. 

1. Discuss how health insurance benefits might impact the organization’s overall strategic goal-setting process.
2. Discuss how a business can control its health insurance benefit costs while using the benefit package as a recruitment and retention tool. 
3. Give practical examples and bring in real-life business examples (including employer names from your readings/research).

Bring in at least 5 library sources to help strengthen and support your response.

For instruction on writing papers, citing sources, proper referencing, and so forth, use Trident University's Student Guide to Writing a High-Quality Academic Paper. See the following If additional guidance on APA style is needed:

Assignment Expectations

Your paper will be evaluated using the criteria as stated in the Case rubric. The following is a review of the rubric criteria:

• Assignment-Driven: Does the paper fully address all aspects of the assignment?   Is the assignment addressed accurately and precisely using sound logic? Does the paper meet minimum length requirements?
• Critical Thinking: Does the paper demonstrate graduate-level analysis, in which information derived from multiple sources, expert opinions, and assumptions has been critically evaluated and synthesized in the formulation of a logical set of conclusions? Does the paper address the topic with sufficient depth of discussion and analysis?
• Business Writing: Is the essay logical, well organized and well written? Are the grammar, spelling, and vocabulary appropriate for graduate-level work? Are section headings included? Are paraphrasing and synthesis of concepts the primary means of responding, or is justification/support instead conveyed through excessive use of direct quotations?
• Effective Use of Information: Does the submission demonstrate that the student has read, understood, and can apply the background materials for the module? If required, has the student demonstrated effective research, as evidenced by student’s use of relevant and quality (library?) sources? Do additional sources used provide strong support for conclusions drawn, and do they help in shaping the overall paper?
• Citing Sources: Does the student demonstrate understanding of APA Style of referencing, by inclusion of proper citations (for paraphrased text and direct quotations) as appropriate? Have all sources (e.g., references used from the Background page, the assignment readings, and outside research) been included, and are these properly cited? Have all sources cited in the paper been included on the References page?
• Timeliness: Has the assignment been submitted to TLC (Trident’s learning management system) on or before the module’s due date?
