Overview
LMZ Company has solicited your assistance in developing a Total Rewards Program. The company was started 30 years ago by a husband and wife who are now transitioning into retirement and transferring the company in six months to their oldest son of five children. The company was positioned to allow several departments to transition to remote work due to COVID-19. They still maintain a small office within the local town that has approximately 40 employees that continue to work on site. The new owner (son) is concerned about re-branding and possible competition. The owners (couple) will still be a part of the company as senior advisors and play a role in decision-making and are concerned about the role of their other children who also work within the company in various roles and total compensation including benefits once their son pays for re-branding and new marketing efforts. Your primary role will be to develop a Total Rewards Strategy Program (see Figure 1.3, Total rewards strategy, in The World at Work Handbook of Total Rewards) for this company while keeping its structure and potential family values in mind.
