In
Chapter 12 you read how HR/Compensation professionals create and design
compensation and perk programs for their executives. This is designed to
attract the brightest minds and strongest leaders to the organization to
provide a strategic competitive advantage. Chapter 13 discusses how
HR/Compensation professionals create and design unique rewards systems for
part-time employees and those processes where special needs for the
organization must be met. Examples would be flexible schedules for working mothers
and compressed work weeks for around-the–clock operations that result in lower
operating costs for the organization.

specialized compensation practices, several topics arise, one of which is
listed below.
