Job Evaluation
Evaluating job responsibilities, not the job holder
Our job evaluation solution is the preferred technology partner to:
Determining the value of a job
Gauge+, our factor-based job evaluation software, helps assess jobs through an objective, systematic process of elimination, creating value and description for every job role.
Job evaluation determines the internal relative value of jobs through a consistent set of factors, skills and requirements. Complete, fair and transparent, job evaluation helps to justify pay scales and eliminate gender bias in assignments and compensation.
Gauge+ hosts multiple schemes and is utilised by private and public sectors – we provide a scheme to suit all.
Key benefits
Fair, consistent and objective: The system asks a series of questions about the job responsibilities to determine the worth of the duties carried out by employees.
Easy: No requirement for a job description. In fact, Gauge+ produces a job summary.
Quick: Each job evaluation is typically completed in approximately one hour; responses to certain questions rule out the need to answer others.
Defensible: An ‘audit trail’ of answers to questions enables cross-comparisons of Jobs.
Effective safeguard: As the software measures the job, rather than the person, you can safeguard against potential discrimination challenges.
Minimal training required: A job analyst selects an answer based upon the job holder’s responses to a set of carefully tailored questions under each of the factor headings.
Buy-In: Job holders feel ‘bought in’ as they can be directly involved in evaluating their own Jobs.
‘Rank order’ of job scores: Job scores can then be used to design a grading structure.
