Q.7 CASE: (14) Super Electronics Limited is one of the top 5 electronic goods companies in India in terms of application of technology and one of the top three companies in terms of sales. It produces and markets a number of electronic goods. Human resource management practices of SEL used to be considered as one of the best in the industry. With the result, it was able to attract engineering graduates and post graduates who constituted its core human resource. The compensation package of the company was heavily oriented towards long term benefits. On an average, these long term benefits constituted about 25% of total compensation package. Such a compensation package was designed on the assumption that: 1) employees would stick to the company because of long term benefits as they have to forego many of the benefits if they left earlier; 2) since people believe in savings, the companys compensation package would be attractive to them; and 3) since take home salary of the employees would be low, their income tax burden would be low. Of late, SET experienced the problem of not getting good quality engineers. In many cases, such engineers used to participate in recruitment and selection process but refused to join after selection. The company was quite perturbed over this phenomenon. In order to get real reason about this phenomenon, SEL conducted informal interview of many recruits. The company found that while its compensation package was quite attractive in terms of total package, its heavy orientation towards long term benefits was a de-motivating factor for new recruits. Based on this type of interview, many persons in HR department felt that younger generation was more interested in higher take-home alary as compared to long term benefits. Questions: 1. To what extent were the assumptions of the company in formulating compensation package relevant? 2. What type of changes, if any, should the company bring in its compensation package? Will such changes be acceptable to existing employees?
