Course Description

The Compensation and Benefits: Organizational Responsibilities course is the 15th of 20 courses developed as part of the Human Resources Certification Program.

In this course, the focus will be on noncash compensation systems, such as equity programs and noncash rewards, as well as common benefits programs such as health coverage and employee assistance programs, or EAPs. Next we'll discuss legally mandated benefits, in particular Social Security and Medicare.

Then we'll end with a review of the importance of effective and regular employee communications regarding compensation and benefits programs and employee self-service technologies. In topic one, Noncash Compensation Methods, you'll learn about noncash compensation methods such as equity programs and noncash reward systems.

Employees need to be physically, mentally, and emotionally fit to cope with the stresses of the modern workplace. In topic two, Common Benefits Programs, the focus will be on health and welfare benefits, retirement plans, and employee assistant programs, or EAPs.

While workers' compensation benefits are extensive, they don't provide coverage for all workers' health issues. In topic three, Fiduciary Responsibilities, we'll discuss legally mandated benefits, in particular Social Security and Medicare.

HR professionals should communicate with employees above and beyond what is mandated by law.

In topic four, Communication and Training, you'll gain a better understanding of the importance of communicating with employees regarding the company’s compensation and benefits programs, policies, and processes, as well as providing related training.

That’s it! Now, go ahead and push that “Take this course” button and see you on the inside!

Overall is good but something is missing, like course excitement, or it should make the listener trigger their enthusiasm to move forward.

By Charanpreet Kaur on 4/26/2024

This course has given me a simplified overview of the compensation and benefits program. A few examples of practical applications of compensation and structure can be added. Furthermore, the instructor's teaching methodology was very soothing.

By Md. Ismail Hossain on 2/21/2024

My expectation was high. I want refund please.

By K.R. on 3/7/2022

The course was great! Sorin is a fantastic instructor and I can't wait to go into the workplace with this knowledge. The material covered in class reminded me why employees turn down higher salaries for less prestigious companies, as well as how much more we should be looking at when making career choices - not just money but also future prospects.

Sorin did a great job of providing deep knowledge to make it easy for me as the student who's going through this information.

By Emiliana Boerio on 3/2/2022

By Kerstin Eder on 2/28/2022

Sorin's course was exactly what I needed to help with my HR program. He does a great job of teaching this part on compensation and benefits responsibilities, which are often overlooked in programs designed for human resources managers themselves!

By John Engels on 2/28/2022

Sorin's course was an excellent way to learn about human resources. His Compensation and Benefits Responsibilities class helped me understand the many different aspects of this complicated process, and his tips for getting started in no time made it easier than ever before!

By Samuel Matias on 2/27/2022

I recommend the course especially to beginners like myself. Easy to understand and explained in detail. Interesting content.
