Well-defined jobs sit at the heart of fair pay and strong performance, yet many organisations still run on job descriptions and grade structures that have not been reviewed in years. As the needs of employees change, HR and reward professionals often try to fit those needs into a system that no longer fits. In a competitive market, when you want to attract and retain your best people and high-performers, having clear job roles and a fair job evaluation and grading system is crucial to underpin best-practice reward policies and deliver pay-for-performance.
This 3-day Masterclass on Complete Job Architecture covers the full journey, from analysing a role and writing a clear job description, to evaluating jobs and building a grade structure that fits your business. Day 1 covers job analysis and job descriptions, providing the foundation for the two days of job evaluation and grade design that follow. Most employers want to be able to "attract, retain and motivate" the best employees and teams, and this course covers the key tools, techniques and best-practice processes for defining roles, evaluating jobs and placing them accurately into your overall grade structure. It explores the different job evaluation systems used globally and gives you a high-level appreciation of the most commonly used best-practice approaches (such as Hay, Mercer, Towers-Watson, etc).
An optional foundation day, ideal if you want to strengthen how you define and document roles before evaluating them.
The core programme covering the tools, methodologies and grade design that place every job accurately in your structure.
You will gain hands-on practice in analysing and evaluating jobs. The aim of this course is to enable you to better understand how to define job roles, write clear job descriptions, evaluate jobs, and design a grade structure that will help you attract, motivate and retain employees.
