The ideal organizational structure for compensation
Article Abstract:
A corporate compensation program can be managed through either a centralized or a decentralized method. The centralized method is appropriate if the company wishes to project a single-structured compensation program. Centralization also prevents activity duplications and reduces the company's reliance on external assistance. Corporate coordination and cohesiveness, on the other hand, is more difficult to achieve using the decentralized approach. The selection of the compensation program management method, however, ultimately depends on the structure of the organization itself.

Defining the role of quality
Article Abstract:
Compensation design can encourage quality in every part of a business by including the concept in areas such as job evaluation, performance evaluation, training, work design, measurement of success, and pricing policies. Pervasive, integrated compensation management can contribute to the quality thrust of the company far more than rewards such as incentives and bonuses. Compensation managers can begin by achieving quality in their own job performance, and they can further assist by defining quality in every facet of human resources management.
