Why is it important for pay to be externally fair?

/in /by

For many businesses in today’s belt-tightening economy, decisions on pay need to be strategic to ensurethat employees are treated fairly and to ensure that businesses remain viable. This requires knowing what your competitors pay their employees and knowing your own salary budget. But knowing what your competitors are paying can be both valuable and painful.

As CEO of Costa Vida, a fast growing chain of fresh Mexican restaurants, Nathan Gardner knew he was competing against some restaurant chains with competitive compensation systems. Costa Vida is a fresh Mexican grill featuring Baja-inspired foods that are made from scratch daily. Following a trip to Cabo San Lucas on the Baja Coast in Mexico, Costa Vida founders JD and Sarah Gardner were inspired with a vision. Bring the freshly made local cuisine with the vibrant lifestyle to the United States. They started their first restaurant in 2001 and after just 10 years, costa Vida has more than 50 franchises in Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, New Mexico, Texas, Washington and Utah. One of the main challenges Costa Vide faces is the fierce competition for customers as well as employees. “You’d be surprised how much of a difference having good employees in all areas of the business makes, “commented the CEO.

“For the fast-casual food industry,” remarked Nathan, “you are dependent upon your people. If you don’t treat your people well, they won’t treat your customers well. If your customers aren’t treated well, you have not business.” For months, Nathan agonized over how he could develop a competitive compensation plan that matched the objectives of the organization, but that fell in line with the tight budget of each individually owned franchise unit. He stated, “We, of course, leave the final compensation decision to the franchise owner, but we do all we can to educate and persuade our franchises to be competitive and fair. I the long run, this is how they can maintain a superior level of customer satisfaction.”n

Nathan pointed out that a strong benchmark for them is In-N-Out Burger. In-N-Out started in California and is known for its great compensation package. As of 2011, they start out all their new “associates” (aka employees) at a minimum of $10 an hour. They also offer flexible schedules to accommodate school and other activities, paid vacation, free meals, and a 401k retirement plan. For full-time associates, they provide medical, dental, vision, life, and travel insurance coverage. Their reason for paying so highs is based on a strategy that lower turnover and more committed workers will lead to better service. “What-In-N-Out does for their employee is truly amazing,” commented Nathan. “We often see employees moving from one fast-food chain to another, but we rarely see employees coming from In-N-Out.

Nathan had a tough challenge ahead in trying to convince his franchise owners and managers to think more strategically about their pay systems. He needed to help them realize that paying wages and offering other compensation benefits that were better than their competitors may mean lower profit margins upfront, however, the returns would be greater in the long run. He also needed to over evidence to show that this was not just about being fair, but it was about being strategic. The restaurant business is a fast and fierce industry and companies come and go all the time. What was it going to take for Costa Vide to stay for the long haul?

Please address the following questions regarding the case:

· Why is it important for pay to be externally fair?
Why is it important for pay to be internally fair?
What should Costa Vida’s compensation strategy look like? Hint: What are the organizational objectives and how can employee pay help to achieve those objectives?
What should the pay structure look like and why?
How should Nathan communicate a new compensation strategy to his franchise owners and managers?
· What effect will paying higher wages have on Costa Vida in the short term? What effect will it have in the long term? Explain.

Describe a solution to an organizational communication problem using a decision-making model.

/in /by

Please revise these areas of the paper (1-3) and see comments from Professor in parentheses that need to be changed.

1.Explains a decision-making model
(Theory Z is not really a decision making model but is a management model. To reach a distinguished for this scoring guide area learners need to fully describe all the components of at least two decision making models, such as the rational decision making model and the intuitive decision making model and the compare and contrast the two models. You might also consider the OODA loop model or Klein’s recognition primed decision making model or the model from Vroom-Yetton-Jago.)

2. Describe a solution to an organizational communication problem using a decision-making model.
(The paper included a problem solution section but the problem solution section of this paper needs to include step-by-step use of the decision making model you chose. For example, if you chose to use the rational decision making model then the paper would clearly describe the activities you would suggest happen in each of the steps of the rational model.)

3. Justify how recommended solutions address a communication problem.
(The paper included comments related to justifications although comparisons between two possible decision making models would have been a good topic to include.)
