The ethical difference that surprised me between my home country and my host country were the ethical rules of greetings and introductions.  In the United Stats it is common courtesy to look at your associate directly in the eye when speaking to them; in China it is customary for the associate to look down and not to make eye contact with your associate.  In the United States this gesture is considered rude, and in China direct eye contact is considered rude it is a sign of respect in China when the Chinese look to the ground when speaking with someone. If a person from another country is not familiar with this custom, he or she may be offended when speaking with a Chinese person and a Chinese person may be offended by another culture when he or she looks them in the eye when speaking.  I found this as a surprise, because I have always been told when you are looking at someone when he or she is speaking that means you have their undivided attention.

Design a Pay for Performance Incentive Awards Program

You are the Vice President of Human Resources and have been given six months to design and implement a Pay-for-Performance Incentive Reward Program for all employees, including senior management. Design and support your program knowing that it must seem fair and equitable to all employees and should provide proper motivation to achieve organizational goals. Also indicate what rewards will be given for what specific performance outcomes.

You may assume any other details that you wish, such as type of work performed, level of employees receiving payouts, varying payouts by organizational, unit or individual performance, but they must be defined within the paper. To begin this assignment, it may help to think of a hypothetical company or industry to provide a setting for your target audience. You should include the following in your program:

  1. Levels of employees and how they are categorized.
  2. Goals/expectations for each level.
  3. Specific awards offered for each goal/expectation, whether monetary or other.
  4. Incentives for reporting behaviors such as sexual harassment and other threatening issues.
  5. Steps HR plans to take to maintain equity and fairness.
  6. Manner in which HR will work with employees who feel the program is unfair or otherwise unsuitable for their professional and personal needs.

Along with your paper, provide a 1-2 page handout that visually displays your program to entice excitement and interest from all levels of employees. Your handout may be provided in a PowerPoint, Publisher or any other format that gives a detailed visual of your written program.

Support your paper with a minimum of three (3) resources, which may include your required text. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including older articles, may be included.

      • What types of systems are in place in terms of disaster preparedness related to these monitored phenomena?
  • Summarize your findings. Evaluate how this technology will impact the future of humanity, both positively and negatively. Be sure to consider the political and economic issues discussed in your future predictions.
