Job Family Modelling

What is Job Family Modelling?
- Job Family Modelling is a type of grading system that divides jobs into coherent groups based on shared characteristics.
- Typically we replace hundreds, even thousands of individual job descriptions with a much smaller number of flexible and focused role profiles.
- The role profiles capture key accountabilities, typical skills and critical behaviours or ‘competencies’.
- Competencies are the factors that enable an employee to perform his or her job better; their motives, values and traits.
We can help you to…
- Clarify your operations by focusing on key types of work rather than individual jobs;
- Increase staff flexibility by removing the ‘silo’ mentality characteristic of traditional job descriptions;
- Support individual development by highlighting desired outputs and define the skills and competencies needed for progression; and
- Avoid a lengthy and costly job evaluation process.
The process
- All implementation depends on your circumstances. We work in close partnership at all times. A typical process involves:
- Stage one: Your detailed briefing on strategy requirements.
- Stage two: Reviewing current roles and descriptors.
- Stage three: Reviewing and, as necessary, developing a competency framework aligned with your new strategy and culture.
- Stage four: Arranging job families, agreed with senior managers.
- Stage five:
- Designing each family in detail.
- Agreeing work levels.
- Drafting detailed role profiles, including allocating key competencies.
- Signing off final versions.
The Ways Job Family Allocation Tool ©
Our provision includes access to our unique allocation tool. The allocator:
- Assesses the most appropriate Job Family for a job to be assigned to.
- Uses his or her knowledge of the job to analyse it against the predetermined critical factors that differentiate between each Job Family level.
- Decides upon the most appropriate Job Family level, allocating the job to the corresponding role profile for that level.
Our expertise enables you to…
- Support your employees during periods of change, merger and rapid growth;
- Restructure, using the role profiles as building blocks; and
- Implement effective pay and grading structures which are equal value compliant.
