Job Architecture

People and the positions they hold are the foundation of your organization.

Having the right infrastructure to support those people helps ensure the right skills and roles for the future, motivates desired behaviors, attracts and retains talent, and combats the challenges of pay equity, skill gaps, and employee satisfaction.

A well-organized company is a more successful company. Together, let’s build a strong, yet flexible job architecture that you can build your future on. Below, explore the details of how we can achieve the best job architecture for your organization.

Job Hierarchy

Charting Your Course

An important layer of your job architecture is Job Hierarchy which outlines levels of authority and responsibility within the company. Taking what we’ve learned through the Job Classification process, we help you group roles into job families, determine hierarchy levels, and define reporting relationships.

With Job Hierarchy, we go beyond the surface level reporting represented in an organizational chart to meet your big picture needs and goals. Creating a Job Hierarchy is critical in maintaining clarity of roles, responsibilities, and career progression pathways for the future of your firm.

Job Classification

Start from the Ground Up

First things first; we work closely with your team to understand your existing job roles and hierarchies, as well as your long-term goals and growth plans.

From there we thoroughly analyze each role to develop a Job classification system based on tasks, responsibilities, skills, qualifications, and reporting structure. Job Classification provides you with a standardized structure that can be used for performance reviews, pay equity, recruiting, determining if there is overlap between positions in a company, and career pathing.
