Job Design and Classification Rethink and implement job designs and a classification system that support competencies and roles to accomplish work. Characteristics Roles include a variety of functions and focus on knowledge, behaviors, skills and competencies, rather than just skills and tasks. Roles facilitate flexible movement of employees and are consistently defined across the Institute. Generic roles and core competencies are defined centrally. Job descriptions and specific competencies may be defined locally.
Job designs are clear enough for market comparison and compliance requirements.
Job and role design allow for flexibility which may include telecommuting, job sharing and adjustable work assignments. Classification ranges are broadened to reflect new roles and competencies. Classification and salary ranges are developed centrally. Salary administration is done locally. How it is implemented Define Institute-wide generic roles and their competencies.
