Empowering your Organization

Our engagement begins with a Rewards Strategy and Roadmap. We will provide a comprehensive snapshot of your current state and begin building suggestions based on your historical practices.

From there, we advise on how to navigate the challenging design alternatives, helping you prioritize the future:

  • How do I make my organization attractive and engaging for best-in-class talent?
  • Do my Rewards strategies and programs reinforce and prioritize our business objectives with our employees?​
  • How do I ensure I am making the right, affordable investments that enable growth?

During the Chart stage, we capture your current state and create consolidated outputs to guide the upcoming Design Workshops

Our Design Workshops in Action

Build a clear roadmap for your Global Job Architecture

Our Design Workshops frame the organization’s challenges and sets the expected results from the design stage:
  • Principles – describe the organization’s foundational actions and behaviors
  • Use-cases – objectives the Job Architecture will support
  • Design Functionality – features, activities and communications the Job Architecture provides, directly supporting the use-cases

Global Job Architecture Blueprints provide the design structure & guidance expected by HR and Business Leadership.

The next step is establishing a consistent lens across the whole enterprise, such as:
  • Blueprint summary (shown)
  • Job Family Groups (and Job Families) defined
  • Career Tracks and Job Level Taxonomy
  • New Job Catalog based on the Blueprint
  • Job Level descriptors
  • Initial Assignment of existing Jobs to new Job Catalog

Consistency, Delivered

Built for Workday, the new Job Catalog is a key, critical outcome for HR and the HCM, delivered as part of the Job Architecture engagement.
