This is an opportunity to create a “dream” benefits plan for a fictional company. Although the costs of offering benefits is a substantial consideration for any employer, for the purposes of this assignment, please make the assumption that costs are not an issue. Each student should begin his or her PowerPoint presentation with an overview of the company/organization as a starting point. Specifically, the name of the company, its mission statement, and a general overview of the company. Students may use public companies and/or government agencies as sources.

Standard Requirements:

• Prepare a presentation using Microsoft PowerPoint or a similar software program.

• The presentation must be visually appealing, have a light background, and dark lettering. Clip art, graphs, charts, etc. are acceptable. However, these visual elements must be relevant or complement the presentation and not be used as fillers.

• Large blocks of text are not permitted. Slides must be organized in a fashion that is easily readable. Your professor recommends the use of bulleted lists for the presentation of text. Font sizes and styles must be appropriate for a professional, business presentation.
