Redesigning the benefits department
Article Abstract:
Corporate benefits departments should be reengineered to complement the organizational mission and strategies. Reengineering can be implemented by identifying the organization's customers, determining the elements they value and delivering the desired services. In cases where total reengineering is not possible or is difficult to implement, the benefits department can instead focus on taking incremental measures such as redefining jobs and activities it will pursue.

Is broadbanding right for your organization?
Article Abstract:
The practice of collapsing multiple salary grades and ranges into a few wide levels, or broadbanding, can reinforce and support organizational structure and culture. It can give managers more flexibility in recognizing individual achievement and help move employees through the pay structure with more administrative efficiency. A management questionnaire to determine the appropriateness of broadbanding is presented. Two company case studies are briefly discussed.
