Our Services

  • Development of Design Principles

    Based on cultural requirements, organizational structure and workflows, and necessary downstream processes, we define the core principles for shaping the job architecture. Agile organizational forms and various career path models can be integrated into the design.

  • Selection of an Appropriate Job Evaluation System

    We define the company-specific requirements for the evaluation system and do a pre-selection of suitable providers, provide advisory support during the final decision-making process and maintain a system-agnostic approach.

  • Project Planning and Support

    We develop an efficient project plan, considering resource availability and company processes, provide implementation support in the role of project lead or sparring partner.

  • Empowering the HR Team

    We train the local HR team in the use of the evaluation system and providing support until they can independently conduct job evaluations.

  • Job Catalogue

    We analyse internal data and derive a company-specific and market-aligned job catalogue using a top-down approach, develop a bottom-up approach in close collaboration with business leaders, create job descriptions upon request, including the integration of competency and skill models and validate in collaboration with business units.

  • Job Evaluation and Calibration

    We grade jobs within the job catalogue and calibrate at the job family level, evaluate top management roles and facilitate the alignment and approval process, enabling managers to assign employees to roles within the job catalogue, calibrate assignments across departments and analyse potential cost implications.

  • Change Management and Communication

    We design a change management framework with a communication strategy tailored to specific target groups and organizational needs, providing process consulting for master data migration, contract creation, and employee communication.

The new job architecture brought clarity and fairness to our organization. It’s aligned with market standards and empowers both our leaders and employees. The expert guidance we received made the entire design and implementation process seamless and impactful.
