1a. Analyze your organization’s compensation package (financial and non-financial components). (Prior to completing this question, you may want to review Maslow’s hierarchy of needs from Module II).

List its components and tell how each meets one or more of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs.
Research and determine how salaries are derived for your organization both in terms of internal and external equity.
Determine what might need to be done to improve internal and external equity.

1b. If you are a member of a combination or volunteer organization, address the following.

Recognizing that some combination and volunteer agencies do provide minimum financial incentives for volunteers (per call, mileage reimbursement, etc.), describe the financial incentives that are in place and analyze the non-monetary rewards and enticements the agency has in place to retain volunteers. How might they address the needs identified in Maslow’s hierarchy?

Many organizations experience a relatively significant turnover in volunteers. Analyze strategies your agency might employ to retain them for a longer period of time.
