1. If you were an employer trying to manage employee benefits, would you choose a standard or a flexible benefit plan for your employees? Why would you pick one over the other? Please specify your organization's industry and cultural belonging based on the studied cross-cultural theories. Also, review what the literature has to say about the pros and cons of the 2 benefit plans. Examples of actual organizations using one or the other are welcome. 2. How well were your benefits explained when you had a question or if you had an orientation at your current or past job? If you could tell your human resources manager three things that would improve the way in which employees are educated regarding those benefits, what would you recommend? Please provide details about the actual organization and its culture and mission. 3. if an employer wants to make budget cuts and wants to do so by cutting benefits, do you think that is an efficient decision? Is there a way to do that efficiently without upsetting employees
