Global Compensation and Benefits

Prepare a 12-15 PowerPoint slide presentation on a new policy for compensation and benefits for
CapraTek’s expatriate employees in a selected country.
Introduction
In addition to the many traditional roles of HRM, global HRM requires special considerations when
selecting, developing, and rewarding expatriates. This assessment delves into compensation
management, and what goes into a pay and benefits package for employees and their families on
foreign assignment in either India, Singapore, or Taiwan.
Preparation
For this assessment, consider the following. CapraTek combines almost 30 years of engineering
experience with production that is continually achieving new efficiencies. The company is committed to
living its values through initiatives that focus on the development of human capital, commitment to
being a good corporate neighbor, and support of green technology initiatives. Founded in 1984,
CapraTek has been profitable every year since its inception.
CapraTek has production facilities and research centers in Silicon Valley, South Carolina, New Mexico,
Illinois, and serves as managing partner of a consortium with operations in India, Singapore, and Taiwan.
As the organization has grown, however, the management development has not always reflected best
practices.
The HR department has been newly revamped and expanded to deal with these management issues. A
key issue is the compensation and benefits package for sending employees on long term (3-year)
assignments to overseas locations. While most of the employees hired at each location are from the
host country, 2–3 key management positions at each international location are sent from the United
States.
You are to prepare a PowerPoint slide presentation for senior management on a new policy for
compensation and benefits for CapraTek’s expatriate employees.

Taiwan), include the following in your presentation:

living allowances.
