Introduction to Broadbanding Human Resources Support Services Manual for Leaders Introduction to Broadbanding Broadbanding is an initiative to support an individual's development and to provide increased flexibility in making career choices. Thirty different job grades have been replaced by four broad categories of roles defined by type of work, impact to the institution and market comparisons. Individuals will have greater flexibility to take ownership of their own careers and leaders will have flexibility to offer a greater range of opportunities from a larger candidate pool.
Individuals can post for new roles focusing on the development opportunities and areas of interest.
Market rates will continue to be based on the role, not the role grade or band. The introduction of broadbanding will not affect current salaries. A band is a group of roles clustered together based on similar types of work, impact to the institution and market comparisons. Support Services will have four bands, each with a broad range of compensation. Individuals may progress through several positions within one band, or in some cases may move from one band to another.
