Sysarb has developed a new framework for job architecture that allows our clients to create their own job architecture with transparent career paths that comply with the EU's directives on pay transparency, providing the foundation for more effectively managing their core HR processes.
Job architecture is a structured framework that defines and organizes different roles, positions, and tasks within an organization. It acts as a map of the job structure, illustrating how roles relate to each other. Job architecture helps define:
Job Families: Groups of related work areas, job profiles, or positions that share common functions or competencies. For example, IT roles could be grouped into an IT job family, while marketing positions could fall under a Marketing job family.
Levels: Hierarchical levels within each job family, reflecting varying degrees of knowledge, responsibility, work conditions, experience, or competence.
Job Profiles: Specific roles within each job family. For example, the IT job family might include profiles such as system administrator, software developer, and IT support.
Job Descriptions: A detailed description of each role, including responsibilities, requirements, necessary skills, experience, and expectations.
Career Paths: Potential development paths for employees, both within and between job families. This clearly outlines how an employee can progress from an entry-level position to a leadership role.
Purpose of Job Architecture
Organization: Helps structure and organize the company’s workforce and roles based on work areas, complexity, and skill level.
Pay Structure: Facilitates the development of a fair and consistent pay structure based on each role's responsibilities and market value.
Recruitment and Development: Simplifies recruitment and employee development by clearly defining the competencies and experience required for each role.
Career Development: Provides employees with a clear understanding of potential career paths and what is required to advance within the organization.
Job architecture is a crucial part of the HR strategy and contributes to creating a transparent and well-functioning organization.
