For this assignment, write an essay explaining your new compensation strategy for the mid-level manager position you still need to fill. Your audience is the chief executive officer (CEO) and other supervisors in your organization. In this essay, include the items listed below.

• After a brief introduction, explain how equal employment opportunity laws impact the organization’s compensation strategy.
• Compare and contrast the advantages and disadvantages of pay-for-performance and competency-based pay. What strategy would you recommend for your organization, and why?
• Explain how various motivational theories can factor into your development of a multi-generational compensation package for your whole organization that includes indirect benefits. Be sure to give specific examples of how different generations of applicants or employees will be affected.
• Explain your proposed compensation package, which should include direct and indirect benefits and how the package will affect hiring and retention. Be sure to specifically identify how much you will pay the mid-level managers, and indicate how it compares to your state and the federal minimum wage. You can search the Internet for sites that list comparable pay data. You should identify a low, medium, and high pay range for the mid-level manager.
• Explain how you will assess the effectiveness of the compensation strategy a year from now.

Your essay will contain a one-page appendix in which you will create a chart of your compensation strategy. This chart should have three columns, which should address the areas listed below:

• legally mandated benefits,
• direct benefits (include how much you will pay the mid-level managers), and
• indirect benefits.

Your essay will be a minimum of three pages in length, not counting the appendix, title page, or references page. You must use at least two sources to support your essay. Adhere to APA Style when constructing this assignment, and make certain to include in-text citations and references for all sources that are used. Please note that no abstract is needed.

Please respond to the following:

• In your own words, describe the core differences between offline and online Organizational Learning Mechanisms (OLMs). Then, create a scenario in which one of the following types of OLMs would be an effective structure: off-line/internal OLMs, online/internal OLMs, off-line/external OLMs and online/external OLMs. Justify your reasoning for selecting the OLM for the scenario.

Compare and Contrast Instructional Design Models

Select three different instructional design models presented in the module and compare and contrast the models. How are they similar and different? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? Support your thinking, citing two to three scholarly sources which you can ascertain from the CSU Global library.

Then, indicate which model you think you would use for your instructional design blueprint and ID proposal (Portfolio Project) and why. You may find you change your mind in Module 2 once you select the business or organization for which you will design, and that is OK. Provide your best analysis of your choice at this time.

Your total assignment should be 3-5 pages long, excluding the title and reference list pages, both of which should be part of your submission.
