Josie recently became the HR manager at a small sized private company. After the initial weeks of getting to know the staff and reading over the employee handbook, she realizes that are opportunities to enhance some benefits. First, the company currently offers 5 paid vacation days for years 1 through 3, and 10 paid vacation days after 3 years of service, there are no increases after 3 years. She would like to change the vacation policy and offer multiple tiers. Second, she wants to propose a compressed work week schedule. She has previous experience with how well this benefit works and improves overall employee engagement. She is recommending employee overlap so there is always coverage. Josie has scheduled a meeting with the CEO to discuss her findings and propose changes.

1. What is your recommendation?

2. How should Josie go about these changes?
