When an organizational strategy must be translated into a realignment of positions and the processes involved, a professional, external perspective often makes all the difference. This is the case, for example, when a new job framework must be designed. Our support and expertise enable organizations to use a transparent and proven job framework model instead of basing their new job framework on history and the individuals that just happen to be there.

We help our clients chart organizational objectives and results, and provide concrete indications of what they need in terms of organizational structure and positions to achieve these objectives and results. This is done by such means as interactive workshops with employees and managers, elaborating accountabilities per business unit, mapping jobs in ‘families’, and providing descriptions of roles and positions. The outcomes can then be used, among other things, for job evaluation, providing insight into career paths, formulating result and development agreements with employees and describing organizational processes.

For a leasing company, for instance, we have described their jobs in such a way that they are in line with their new organizational structure. These job descriptions were then used as the basis for an IPE (International Position Evaluation) job evaluation of their entire organization. And this job framework then enabled us to implement their reward policy, all in collaboration with the client.
