Why is it useful for organizations to think in terms of designing a mix of programs rather than choosing one overall compensatio

Andreas93 [3]

Answer with explanation:

It is better for companies to offer a mixture of compensation programs instead of only one since it attracts a major number of competent workers. Some employees might be very selective at the time of choosing a job according to the benefits they could receive. For instance, a high executive could prefer to start working in an "A" firm since they organization offers an attractive number of stock shares per year as part of the compensation program instead of working for firm "B" that is not even publicly listed.
