Question

Homelife, a national chain of high-end furniture stores, employs nearly 800 workers. In the past few years, the company's market share has dropped significantly, and employee turnover has increased. Upper management is considering the implementation of a new compensation policy in its efforts to turn the company around. Historically, the company has paid all employees similarly with some variation for seniority but no distinction between high and low performers.

All of the following questions are relevant to Homelife's decision to develop an aligned reward strategy EXCEPT ________.

Answer 1

Questions about employee performance, market share, and compensation policies are relevant to Homelife's decision to develop an aligned reward strategy, but details on union wage demands and machinery investments are not directly related.

Step-by-step explanation:

Homing in on Homelife's decision, it is evident that questions regarding market share, employee performance, and compensation policies are pertinent to developing an aligned reward strategy. However, identifying irrelevant questions in this context is crucial for a clear understanding. The provided details discuss the response to union wage demands and the subsequent actions a company may take, such as investing in machinery, which affects labor requirements and productivity but does not directly address Homelife's challenge in terms of developing an aligned reward strategy.

Answer 2

The correct answer is What were the results of the most recent Homelife customer review ratings?

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the least convenient question in this process, since employee information is being analyzed in order to implement a new compensation policy, therefore it requires recent information about employees to measure their performance and time in each one of the missionary processes. Customers are necessary if a discount policy is required, to determine who has had higher levels of purchase over time.
