...either temporarily or permanently for international assignment by their company. The word is derived from the Latin terms ex ("out of") and patria ("country, fatherland"). Expatriation of workers involves many factors and risk among them are the need for greater operating unit diversity, more external stakeholder influence, higher levels of risk exposure and more personal insight into employees’ lives and family situations. To operate internationally, HR must engage in activities not necessary in a domestic environment, mainly activities such as international taxation, international relocation and host government relations by contacting with foreign governments for acquiring work permits, visas etc. The salary of internationally assigned personnel often consists of standard salary and monetary benefits such as cost of living and non-monetary incentives such as health care, education expenses, and housing. Some companies will even completely cover the cost of expatriate children's education, even at relatively expensive international schools, while other, usually smaller companies, encourage families to find local schooling options. One of the greatest disadvantage of using expatriates is the possibility of expatriate failure. Expatriate failure occurs when an expatriate returns to her home country prior to finishing her international assignment, or if the expatriate resigns from her job before completing the assignment. Despite adjustment training, there is no guarantee...

...Assignment 1: Case Study: Geico: Their Total Rewards Approach Michelle D. Griner Strayer University Abstract This paper is about total rewards and how it affects the employer – employee relationship. If the rewards program does not fit the organizational goal or the goal of the employee, then there is a problem. There is evidence that shows the best way to attract, engage and retain employees is to focus not just on pay and benefits but also on rewards. Such as, education and development, health and well-being, financial security, and other amenities and perks; for example, business casual environment, easily accessible work out facilities, and banking. Other perks could be discounts on merchandize, tuition reimbursement and free to low-cost parking. Many rewards and benefit programs are development in fragmented ways, without regard of fitting the parts with the organization’s goals. Organizations have the ability to develop and execute a total rewards solution. By analyzing the design and delivery of each strategy component, companies can take the steps needed to maximize the effectiveness. Keywords: total rewards, Associate Assisted Program (AAP) Assignment 1: Case Study: GEICO: Total Rewards Approach GEICO has five different types of programs that help benefit their employees’ well being. Such as, Your Health and Well-being which includes plans such as medical, dental and vision; an associate assistance program (AAP); long-term disability (LTD) and physical...

...United Parcel Service Culture Dusty Atwood Texas A&M University Central Texas November 23, 2014 Organizational Behavior The United Parcel Service, or UPS, is a shipping juggernaut with an annual revenue in excess of fifty billion dollars and nearly fifteen million packages shipped daily. To give you an idea of just how big this shipping giant actually is “UPS looks at the world from the prospective of the world’s largest package delivery company. Two percent of the global GDP passes through our system every day.” (Kuehn 2014) In the field of shipping UPS has remained profitable and relevant in the one hundred plus years since it was founded, but how has it remained amongst the top performers in this field? The organizational culture of the company may be able to answer this. The Cultural Artifacts of UPS The artifacts of the United Parcel Service are many and varied, but one above the rest stands alone, that being the color brown. The color itself has been used in much of the other symbology and artifacts of the shipping giant. UPS uses a specific shade of brown which is called Pullman brown. At the time of UPS’s inception in the early twentieth century the height of luxury cross country travel was done by rail. The most luxurious of all the rail line cars were made by the Pullman Palace Car Company, as such brown was associated with luxury. One addition benefit of the color brown for over the road vehicle that frequently travels unimproved roads is that it easily...
