Throughout the previous weeks, we identified and discussed the elements of a Total Rewards Package. In an effort to lay the ground for the upcoming weeks, exploring some of these elements in further detail, you will create a PowerPoint presentation that is reflective of the following:
1) Type of position you are seeking if you were to leave your current position.
2) The location (if it matters where the job is located), compensation, and benefits you are wanting. You will want to consider the differences in cost of living when evaluating the compensation and benefits.
3) Using your current organization, identify and discuss your current total rewards package.
3) Select an organization or entity you are interested in working for, identifying and discussing the total rewards package offered. Look at both direct and indirect compensation.
(3) Compare the two packages, evaluating the pros and cons of each organization's total rewards package and opportunity
(4) In closing, make the determination as to which organization you would choose and why.
The purpose of the assignment is that often times, when people are looking for a new job; they are often enticed by the direct compensation, i.e. the wages, not really giving any thought to the benefits before making their decisions. In addition, it is common for employees to be unaware of the benefits that are available to them as well as to access them. Besides becoming familiar with the benefits offered to employees by yours and other organizations, you be able to evaluate the total compensation being offered by organizations for the purpose of job offers and benchmarking to help your organization remain competitive.
A few things to remember:
·
You should be able to address the topic effectively using 12-15 slides and USE YOUR NOTE PAGES.
·
Do not forget to use bullet points or short sentences on your slides and expand on your note pages, or you can add audio. Think of this as where your essay would go. Often times, when someone cannot attend a presentation, they rely on the note pages to expand on the information on the slides.
·
Graphics should be complementary to the narrative and not overwhelming or distracting from the content.

When you hear the number 285 million people - that is no small number. What this number represents is the number of people who are visually impaired in this world, some are corrected but others have left their vision uncorrected. If someone is not wearing corrective lenses does not mean they are not experiencing challenges with their eyesight. All of us can name at least one person who does not want to wear corrective lenses or needs to.

and inhibit them from distinguishing letters, colors, and
objectives. Some of the colors that are difficult for some
individuals to distinguish are red, green, yellow, and blue.
There are a few things you can do to make your design visually-
friendly:
1. Choose a legible font. This include Sans Serif, Helvetica,
Arial, and Verdana
2. Control brightness and contrast. As many of you have already
heard me say - light background and use a dark text.
3. Limit animations and effect. Do not use spinning or wavy
slide transitions.
3. 4. Stay away from dark backgrounds and slide designs.

The process of recognizing faces
Fae recognition is a procedure of identifying and
confirming people’s identities through their faces. Face
recognition is made possible through a region known as the
brain's temporal lobe. The temporal lobe can recognize faces.
The neurons in the temporal lobe respond to specific features of
the ace. Individuals suffering from a condition that damages the
temporal lobe lose the ability to recognize and identify familiar
faces (Freberg, 2019). The individuals suffer from
prosopagnosia or face blindness. Face blindness affects people
from birth, and there is a high chance that individuals might
have them for the rest of their life.
Face recognition is also linked to consciousness, making it
possible to recollect and identify visual information. However,
for individuals with face blindsight, unconscious residual visual
abilities affect the ability to recollect and identify visual
information consciously. Consciousness is linked to the ability
to describe color and shape successfully (Fendrich et al., 2001).
4. However, blindsight affects this ability, making it impossible to
describe the movement and recognize facial emotions.
Blindsight is considered a residual visual function when
conscious awareness is lacking. It is common in the scotomas of
clients with lesions to the primary visual cortex. Blindsight is
common within the smaller island of the residual visual function
(Fendrich et al., 2001). Therefore, the ability to recognize faces
by the vestiges of the geniculostriate function.
How to test individuals complaining of not remembering people
to see the type of challenge they have
Individuals the facial blindness experiences the challenge
of recognizing people’s faces and even that of their families.
Therefore, sometimes they get blamed for their lack of attention
to other people. It is a challenge to discover losing the ability to
recognize yourself even in the mirror, like in the video case
evidence provided (CBS News, 2012). Therefore, to ensure that
these people are assisted and to confirm their claims, suitable
test procedures can be relied on in ruling out or confirming such
claims.
The test for the individuals on whether they are correct
when complaining of having forgotten some people can be
achieved by using various faces in an experiment targeting their
ability to recognize faces (Freberg, 2019). In this procedure,
famous faces can be used, making them recognize them. The
faces can then be turned down to determine their face
recognition abilities.
During such a procedure, when the appearance of the faces
is changed, the neurons in the temporal lobe produce less
activity. Changing the faces of people upside down is
sometimes difficult to recognize, even for individuals with no
facial blindness. The above procedures are always performed by
neurologists who help assess and evaluate the individual’s
ability to recognize facial features. The evaluation activities
assess the ability of the individual to recognize faces they have
never seen or the faces of the family (Freberg, 2019). The
person is made to recognize the differences and similarities of
5. the facial features in all the sets of faces provided. They are
evaluated based on the ability to detect the emotional cues from
the face and assess the information, such as age or gender, from
the set of faces provided.
The test can also be performed using other procedures such
as Warrington Recognition Memory of Face (RMF). These are
two critical tests that physicians utilize to assess possible facial
blindness. The scores from the evaluation using these tests
might not entirely be reliable in the diagnosis of facial
blindness outright.
