NO.32 What best describes an effective core technique for communicating with executives?

Focus on negative issues first, such as compensation costs exceeding budget, to get their attention

Provide a wide range of facts and figures. With their high level of responsibility, executives must have all the data before they can make informed decisions.

Assume they have little knowledge of the issue and make a detailed presentation leading up to the purpose of the meeting.

Recommend a solution that will solve the issue and explain why it is the best solution available.

NO.33 How are the compensation communication needs of managers different from those of individual employees?

They aren’t. Managers are concerned about their compensation also.

They are also responsible for merit increases, incentives and hiring so they have greater information needs.

They tend to have more influence, so it is important to resolve any concerns they have quickly and efficiently.

They have more duties and responsibilities and are less likely to have the time to discuss compensation issues.

NO.34 When trying to achieve compromise and collaboration to achieve your goals, on which stakeholder(s) should you focus most of your efforts?

The most senior leader with the highest level of authority

No one person. Identify your stakeholders and work to achieve consensus among the majority.

Influencers and decision-makers who have the respect of employees and are both proponents and opponents of your objectives

Individuals with power in the organization who have the authority to overrule the concerns of opponents

NO.35 When connecting with other business units, what best describes a reason why is it important to keep up to date on organizational challenges?

Because you will be more informed when differences of opinion occur, lending more credibility to your position

Because you can demonstrate your understanding of issues from multiple perspectives

Because you will be able to explain the negative consequences of opposing your position

Because stakeholders with diverse opinions tend to compromise when they are aware that others know their weaknesses

Leave backup data out of the presentation so there is time to develop an effective response to unexpected questions

NO.41 The Delta Company has experienced increased turnover in the past two years. Data from exit interviews indicate that most of those leaving did so for better opportunities and higher compensation. If Delta pays at the highest percentile of the market for their peer group, what data analysis should they do?

Additional quantitative analysis to determine whether pay rates are truly competitive or existing data are unreliable

Qualitative data collection to talk to key stakeholders and employees and determine whether the exit interviews accurately reflect their concerns

Qualitative data collection in the form of an employee survey with questions about employee satisfaction with pay levels

No additional data analysis is needed. Delta should increase pay rates based on the existing data to decrease turnover.

NO.42 What information is found on the balance sheet?

A list of what is owned, what is owed and the equity of an entity

The revenues and expenses incurred by an entity over a period of time

The change during the reporting period in cash and cash equivalents

The profitability of the company as of a specific date

NO.43 What statement is most accurate regarding communication of compensation information?

Compensation professionals should anticipate the level of the audience and tailor messages to their needs.

Compensation terms and practices are unclear to most individuals who do not work in this area and communication should be tailored to the least informed member of the target audience.

The ready availability of information online has made it unnecessary for compensation professionals to tailor messages since individuals can research terms and concepts after the fact if they don’t understand a communication.

Compensation terms are well-known and easily understood by most stakeholders.

NO.44 What do working capital metrics evaluate?

The change in working capital over a specific period of time, typically one year

The amount of cash needed to meet the company’s short-term obligations

A company’s efficiency in converting short-term capital into cash

A company’s mean capital expenditure per employee

NO.45 Regarding fixed and variable costs, what are Finance’s primary concerns?

Fixed costs must be kept to a minimum, but variable costs can fluctuate since they tend to correlate with revenue.

Variable costs often have a heavier focus than fixed costs, which applies to all areas, including compensation.

Fixed costs and variable costs are equally important and both should be kept to a minimum.

Fixed costs are not a concern because they cannot be changed, so the focus is primarily on variable costs.

NO.46 An organization whose focus is on obtaining capital, marketing products or services, sales growth and
cash conservation is most likely to be in what stage of the business lifecycle?

Start-up

Growth

Mature

Decline

NO.47 How is the purpose of a non-profit organization typically communicated?

Implied in the mission, vision and strategy and specifically explained on the organization’s website

Reflected in the mission, vision, values and strategy although often not stated directly

Documented internally but not released to the public to protect trade secrets and maintain competitive advantage

NO.48 Which of the following best describes the most likely perspectives of different groups in the organization that compensation professionals must be aware of?

Investors and Finance want to see money spent wisely. Legal must ensure compliance, and HR and operating departments want to see their needs taken into account to attract, retain and motivate a high quality workforce.

Operating departments and HR understand the company must live within its means and Finance cannot allocate funds to a budget if it is likely that profitability will be adversely affected.

Investors want to maximize gains and want to see compensation tightly controlled and Legal needs to ensure that compensation plans do not attract undue scrutiny.

Operating departments view compensation as it applies to them, HR must balance available resources to attract, retain and motivate employees and Finance knows the value of a motivated workforce and will provide the budget necessary to achieve it.
