A strong job architecture needs to be underpinned by a job evaluation framework that helps to identify the level and type of work that is delivered. We provide job evaluation solutions to suit every business, whether it's Evaluate - our agile, digital job evaluation system - or bespoke frameworks that reflect your DNA.
Once in place, organisations can be confident that they are correctly evaluating roles with an impartial and defensible solution. This approach provides a solid foundation for developing performance management, career progression, and aligning pay.
In addition, organisations will have greater visibility on organisational design, enabling the achievement of HR’s strategic objectives by better managing talent mapping, succession planning, and skills gaps.
What approach should you take?
As independent experts, Innecto can provide not only our own proprietary solutions, but also the independence and flexibility to identify if a better option exists in the market. With our expertise in job evaluation, we can objectively assess your needs and recommend the solution that best fits your organisation. As well as the considerations identified here, introducing a new job evaluation framework gives you the opportunity to assess whether your existing structure and grades are still fit for purpose from an organisational design perspective - is the overall shape of your organisation right?
Once you have confirmed the principles, it is easier for us to establish whether a bespoke option or an off the shelf option is the best way forward.
EVALUATE
Evaluate is a robust, intuitive system designed to establish your job architecture. Based on Work Level theory, it ensures fair and consistent treatment of employees while supporting future organisational design. Using pre-set factors, Evaluate determines the relative value of roles and assigns them to clear levels, enabling quick implementation and offering role clarity to your team.
OFF-THE-SHELF FRAMEWORK
Our off-the-shelf framework offers a simple, cost-effective way to size roles and establish hierarchy while maintaining an analytical approach. It has 6 levels and 4 factors, and roles are slotted based on level requirements. There are no ongoing costs, but internal systems are needed to manage outcomes and ensure consistency, and while effective now, it may not suit a growing business in the future.
BESPOKE FRAMEWORK
If a bespoke job evaluation framework is more suitable, we will collaborate to understand your business’s unique structure and develop a framework with the right factors and levels. We can also assist in evaluating roles within this framework. This option has no ongoing maintenance costs but requires more time and resources to develop, and internal systems are needed to monitor job evaluation outcomes and ensure consistency across the organisation.
Case Study: Norfolk Care Association
NorCA sought to create a local Adult Social Care Worker Job Evaluation Framework to promote parity of esteem for equivalent roles across all frontline social care jobs including those working for the local authority and the NHS. The Framework recognises and articulates the skills, experience, knowledge, responsibility and working conditions in different roles across the health and care system. Alongside this piece of work, NorCA wanted to undertake some research into basic pay so that providers using the Framework could make look at how their pay policies.
