job evaluation

Every organisation needs a way of distinguishing between the different types of roles within it, to create employee reward packages that are based on the complexity of the role, meet equal pay legislation and are competitive within the marketplace.

insight’s approach to job evaluation fulfils that need in a way that can place a stream-lined, analytical and systematic approach to sizing roles at the centre of your organisation’s hr strategy.

Too often job evaluation schemes are introduced into organisations solely as an equal pay defence, with little consideration for whether what the scheme measures fits with your organisations values. This leads to a mismatch between organisational values and the values inherent in the job evaluation scheme and this leads to job evaluation being regarded as time-consuming and irrelevant by managers. Instead, we can help you to introduce a scheme that is streamlined, measures what your organisation values and fulfils equal pay legislative requirements.

A tailored approach

We recognise that exactly same approach to job evaluation will not fit every organisation. That is why we have adopted a tailored approach, offering you a number of options:

create a bespoke scheme from scratch, integrating the scheme from the outset with other hr initiatives, such as competencies, performance management, recruitment & retention initiatives
use insight’s core job evaluation scheme, based on eight tried and tested factors, as the starting point for creating a Job Evaluation scheme that refl ects the priorities in your organisation
buy insight’s core job evaluation scheme ‘off the shelf’, using insight’s reward expertise and project management skills to ensure a smooth implementation

	"Thank you for undertaking the project to initiate a new review of reward scheme for Broxbourne Housing Association. Having been established in 2006 we were conscious of the need to move from a local authority culture and to ensure maximum buy in from staff to the new scheme we were seeking to introduce. We inherited a situation where we had four different sets of terms and conditions and realised that we needed to move towards a single set and align these to our vision and values as well as seek to place ourselves in the right place in terms of salaries and other staff benefits. Insight’s assistance in this has been invaluable. BHA now has a new approach to the review of rewards which will enable us to be competitive in the market place but also ensure that we align reward to achievement of our vision and values. This will greatly assist us in maintaining our drive to create our own culture and identity. The fact that we achieved 100% sign up to the new terms is something we could not have anticipated and your company’s part in achieving this is much appreciated. We would certainly recommend Insight to others undertaking this type of exercise. "
