About the Course

Whether you're writing paychecks or wondering where yours comes from, this course is for you! We begin by asking: "To succeed, what kind of a person does your organization need to attract, retain, and motivate?" From there, we'll explain how to align your organization's objectives, its pay philosophy, and ultimately the way it designs and implements its salary structure, short-term incentives, long-term incentives, and benefits. Interested in learning more about the technical aspects of compensation, but don't know where to begin? We'll give an overview of key the key technical skills: compliance with pay regulations, understanding stock options, shopping for health insurance and pension providers, and designing incentive plans. Lastly, we'll discuss non-monetary methods of motivating employees. Upon completing the course, you should be able to have an understanding of compensation both strategically and technically. Learners will also gain introductory familiarity with pay regulation in the US....

Both the professors were amazing! However, I would like to point out that since everyone undertaking this course is from the USA, it's better to skip out on the portion about US Law and compliance.

Alan Benson appears to be intelligent and acknowledged in this field, but his teaching style is tedious, very informative, complicated, and monotone - many terms, numbers, definitions, and perplexing "explanations."

I would advise the teacher to work on his vocalization. It's sometimes difficult to understand what he's saying. Also, the class should be more dynamic for this complex subject to be easier to understand.

I consider myself intelligent, and I found his final assignment in the Human Resources Capstone to be challenging to complete and repetitive. In addition, he only provided a few examples of what he wanted us to achieve in this project. On the contrary, the teacher's class in week four was more enjoyable, dynamic, and simple to follow.

I could not wait to finish this course!

Too US-centric. Very strange concept of non-monetary benefits. It very common to forgo cash remuneration for non-monetary benefits (mainly for tax advantages) which was largely ignored in this course.
