This case study is focused on how 2 different companies use total rewards to support the organization’s missions and values and achieve strategic outcomes. Select only 1 of the companies as the basis for your case study response. (This is not meant to be a comparison of the companies, but an exploration of how 2 different companies use their compensation and benefits structures to achieve organizational outcomes). The paper must specifically address the following areas:

• How the company uses its own products or services to enhance the total compensation for its employees;
• The internal and external strengths and weaknesses identified and how the company responded to these factors from a total rewards perspective;
