This document outlines the steps in developing a total compensation strategy and discusses internal alignment, which refers to pay relationships among jobs within an organization. It also covers job analysis, which involves defining jobs by their tasks and skills requirements. The results of job analysis are used to create job descriptions and for job evaluation. Job evaluation is the systematic process of determining the relative worth of jobs within an organization based on factors like skills, effort, and responsibilities. Several common job evaluation methods are discussed, including ranking, classification, factor comparison, and point methods. The point method breaks jobs into compensable factors that are scaled and weighted to determine total points for each job.

Benchmarking is an ongoing process involving industries from all walks of life and all categories of production
The principle is that no company is 100% perfect, and if you continuously search for better solutions, you will improve your efficiency and become an exceptional company, which can later form a benchmark for similar companies.
Benchmarking is a legal activity. Because benchmarking has been applied in a formal fashion (following strict rules) to all manner of technical and administrative procedures. There is legal authorities on information exchanges ( major area of antitrust concern applicable to benchmarking )

The tools we describe in this chapter and in Chapters 8 provide human resources (HR) professionals
with a foundation to evaluate and improve the capability of a company’s employees (human
capital) to its competitive advantage. Let’s consider a metaphor to bring the opening sentence to
life. Think about, for example, a delivery vehicle. Many factors contribute to fuel efficiency, two
of which include low tire pressure or an air conditioner that is low in refrigerant. In the former
case, insufficient tire pressure creates greater drag on the vehicle, which raises fuel consumption.
In the latter case, the air conditioner will not efficiently cool the car, and the compressor will
continually run because it cannot keep the interior of the car at the desired lower temperature.
Compressors are driven by the engine, which, of course, are fueled by gasoline.
Companies prefer to have fuel-efficient vehicles to maintain lower operating costs because
they want to maximize profitability. Mechanics can use an air gauge to determine whether tire
pressure falls within standard limits specified by the automobile manufacturer. Specialized ther-
mometers can be used to determine the adequacy of refrigerant levels in air conditioning systems.
From an HR standpoint, delivery vehicles are capital, and we have learned that employees are
human capital. Both help add value to companies. Fuel efficiency is a measure of performance.
Lower-than-standard or expected fuel efficiency can be thought of as (lower) job performance. Air

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

• Competitive Dynamics – Understand the
Business
–
–
–
–
–
Changing customer needs
Competitors’ actions
Changing labor market conditions
Changing Laws
Globalization
• Culture/values
– A pay system reflects the values that guide an
employer's behavior and underlie its treatment of
employees
10. Cont..
• Employee preferences
– How to better satisfy individual needs and
preferences
• E.g., text notes that 75% of employees report
satisfaction with compensation, yet over 40% say they
would change mix of cash or benefits if given chance
• Choice
– Examples: Flexible benefits and choices
• Union preferences
– Compensation deals with unions can be costly to
change
11. STEP 2: MAP A TOTAL COMPENSATION STRATEGY
• Mapping is used in marketing to clarify and
communicate a product's identity
• Offers picture of a company’s compensation strategy
based on the five choices in the pay model
• Clarifies the message the company is trying to
establish with its compensation system
• Maps do not tell which strategy is the “best,”
providing rather framework and guidance

3M had an interesting
problem when it
collected job
information from a
group of engineers
The engineers listed a
number of responsibilities
that they might viewed as
part of their jobs.(using
other ways to do job
efficiently)
Therefore, 3M looked for
additional ways to reward these
engineers rather than
bureaucratize them.
However, the
manager realized
that those
responsibilities
actually belonged to
a higher level of
work. The engineers
had enlarged their
jobs beyond what
they were being paid
to do. So, no one
wanted to tell these
highly productive
engineers to slack

What is job evaluation?
“Job evaluation is a
systematic way of
determining the
value/worth of a job
in relation to other
jobs in
organization”
It is a systematic
process of analysing
and evaluating jobs to
determine the relative
worth of each job in an
organization. It forms
the basis for designing
the compensation
management system in
an organization.
(Mehta, 2013)
40. Features
•Tries to assess jobs ,not people
•The standards of job evaluation are relative not absolute
•The basic information is obtained from job analysis
•Carried out by groups, not by individuals
•Provides a basis for a rational wage-structure
SOME MAJOR DECISIONS IN JOB EVALUATION
• Establish the purpose of evaluation
• Decide whether to use single or multiple plans
• Choose among alternative approaches
• Obtain involvement of relevant stakeholders
• Evaluate plan’s usefulness
43. JOB EVALUATION VS PERFORMANCE

48. ESSENTIALS FOR SUCCESS OF A JOB
EVALUATION PROGRAM
•Compensable factors should represent all the major aspects of job
content
•Operating manager must be convinced about the techniques and
programs of job evaluation
•Al employees should be provided with complete information about the
evaluation techniques and program
•All groups and grades of employees should be covered by the job
evaluation program
• Program and technique of job evaluation should be understood by all
employees
•The union’s acceptance and support to the program should be
obtained

RANKING METHOD
• As per this method, jobs are arranged form highest to lowest, in order of
their values or merit to the organization
• Jobs can also be arranged according to the relative difficulty in performing
them.
• The job at the top has the highest value and job at the lowest has the
lowest value.
• Jobs are arranged in each department and then department ranking are
combined to develop an organization ranking
Eg; ranking of jobs in any department can be done as follows:
RANK
MONTHLY SALARIES (RM)
ACCOUNTANT
6000
ACCOUNT CLARK

55. CLASSIFICATION METHOD

• Job classification method general purpose is to create and maintain pay
grades for comparable work across your organization.
• It uses job classes or job groups to provide more customization in the
evaluation
• This method also uses scales to measure performance rather than
comparing and ranking employees

56. 3
FACTOR COMPARISON METHOD
• Job evaluators rank jobs that have similar responsibilities and
tasks.
• The evaluators then analyse jobs in the external labour market.
• Jobs across the organization are then compared to the
benchmark jobs according to the market rate of each job’s
compensable factors to determine job salaries.
• Under this method, instead of ranking complete jobs, each job
is ranked according to a series of factors.
• These factors include mental effort, physical effort, skill needed,
responsibility, working conditions, etc.
• Pay will be assigned in this method by comparing the weights of
factors required for each job.
• Wages are assigned to the job in comparison to its ranking on
each job factor.
57. AN EXAMPLE OF FACTOR COMPARISON
METHOD
Suppose the job of a painter is found to be similar to
electrician in skill (15), filter in mental effort (10), welder in
physical effort (12), cleaner in responsibility (6), and
labourer in working conditions (4). The wage rate for this
job would be (15+10+12+6+4) is 47.
58. 4
POINT METHOD
• This is a commonly used job evaluation technique. It is an
analytical method which breaks down each job into a number of
factors; for example, skill, responsibility and effort, with the factors
sometimes being further broken down into sub-factors, for
example, education, decision making and dexterity.
• These sub-factors will be further divided into degrees or levels.
Points are awarded for each factor according to a predetermined
scale and the total points decide a job's place in the ranking order.
• The factors should reflect the varying degrees of importance
attached to them.
• Care must be taken to ensure that the weightings do not result in a
sex-biased scheme - for example, by attaching an unjustified
weighting to the physical strength factor at the expense of manual
dexterity.

60. STEP 1: CONDUCT JOB ANALYSIS
• Point plans begin with job analysis
• A representative sample of jobs (benchmark jobs) is drawn
for analysis
• Content of these jobs is basis for:
– Defining compensable factors
– Scaling compensable factors
– Weighting compensable factors
61. STEP 2: DETERMINE COMPENSABLE FACTORS
• Compensable factors – characteristics in the work that the
organization values, that help it pursue its strategy and
achieve its objectives
• Compensable factors play a pivotal role
– Reflect how work adds value to organization
– Decision making is three-dimensional:
• Risk and complexity
• Impact of decision
• Time that must pass before evidence of impact
62. UNIVERSAL COMPENSABLE FACTORS

64. STEP 2: DETERMINE COMPENSABLE FACTORS (CONT.)
• To be effective, compensable factors should be:
– Based on strategy and values of organization
– Based on work performed
• Documentation is important
– Acceptable to the stakeholders
– Adapting factors from existing plans
• Skills, and effort required; responsibility, and working
conditions
• NEMA, NMTA, Equal Pay Act (1963), and Steel plan
65. COMPENSABLE FACTORS - HOW MANY FACTORS?
– “Illusion of validity” - Belief that factors are capturing
divergent aspects of a job and are both important
– “Small numbers” - If even one job has a certain
characteristic, it must be a compensable factor
– “Accepted and doing the job” – 21 factor, 7 factors, 3
factors
– Research results
Skills explain 90% or more of variance
Three factors account for 98 - 99% of variance
77. KNOW-HOW
• To achieve the accountabilities of a job requires “Know-How”(or inputs), which is
the sum total of every capability or skill, however acquired, needed for fully
competent job performance.
• Know-How has three dimensions:
1. Technical/Specialized Skills:
Depth and breadth of technical or specialized knowledge needed to
achieve desired results.
2. Managerial Skills:
The requirement to undertake managerial functions, such as planning and
organizing staff or directing and controlling resources, to achieve business
results over time.
3. Human Relations Skills:
The interpersonal skills required for successful interaction with individuals and
groups, inside and outside the organization.
78. PROBLEM-SOLVING
• The value of Know-How is in its application to achieve results.
• “Problem Solving” (or throughputs) refers to the use of Know-How to identify,
delineate, and resolve problems.
• We “think with what we know,” so Problem Solving is viewed as utilization of
Know-How, and has two dimensions:
1. Thinking Environment:
The job’s context and the degree to which problems and solutions are
defined.
2. Thinking Challenge:
The nature of addressable problems and the difficulty in identifying
solutions that add value.
• Problem Solving measures the requirement to use Know-How conceptually,
analytically, and productively.
79. ACCOUNTABILITY
• Every job exists to add organizational value by delivering some set of
results (or outputs). Accountability measures the type and level of value a
job can add.
• In this sense, it is the job’s measured effect on an organization’s value
chain. It has three dimensions:
1. Freedom to Act:
The degree of empowerment to take action and the guidance
provided to focus decision-making.
2. Scope:
The business measure(s) the job is designed to positively impact.
3. Impact:
The nature of the job’s influence on business results.
81. Job Evaluation
Two Point-Factor Methods
• Factor Evaluation
System
Developed in 1977 by the Office
of Personnel Management for
non-supervisory general
schedule employees. It
incorporates many of the
characteristics of the Lott,
Benge, and NEMA methods.
• Hay Method
Dates back to the early 50's and
is one of the most popular
methods in use today. It is
particularly popular for
evaluating executive,
managerial, and professional
positions as well as nonexempt
clerical, blue collar, and
technical jobs.
82. STEP 3: SCALE THE FACTORS
• Construct scales reflecting different degrees within each factor
– Most factor scales consist of four to eight degrees
• Issue
– Whether to make each degree equidistant from adjacent degrees
(interval scaling)
•
Criteria for scaling factors
Ensure number of degrees is necessary to distinguish among jobs
Use understandable terminology
Anchor degree definitions with benchmark-job titles and/or work
behaviors
Make it apparent how degree applies to job
84. STEP 4: WEIGHT THE FACTORS ACCORDING TO
IMPORTANCE
• Different weights reflect differences in importance attached to each
factor by the employer
• Determination of factor weights
₋ Advisory committee allocates 100 percent of the value among
factors
• Select criterion pay structure
– Committee members recommend the criterion pay structure
– Statistical approach is termed policy capturing to differentiate it
from the committee a priori judgment approach
– Weights also influence pay structure
90. STEP 5: COMMUNICATE THE PLAN AND TRAIN USERS
• Involves development of manual containing information to allow
users to apply plan
– Describes job evaluation method
– Defines compensable factors
– Provides information to permit users to distinguish varying
degrees of each factor
• Involves training users on total pay system
• Includes appeals process for employees
– Employee acceptance is imperative
• Communication
91. STEP 6: APPLY TO NON-BENCHMARK JOBS
• Final step involves applying plan to remaining jobs
– Could involve both designers and/or employees trained in
applying the plan
• Tool for managers and HR specialists once plan is developed
and accepted
• Trained evaluators will evaluate new jobs or reevaluate jobs
whose work content has changed
– May also be part of appeals process
STEP 7: DEVELOP ONLINE SOFTWARE SUPPORT
• Online job evaluation is widely used in larger organizations
• Becomes part of a Total Compensation Service Center for
managers and HR generalists to use

You might find it more useful to delete some of the logos and focus on a few brands that you want to talk about. Include some local companies and some that are relevant to your client and the work they are interested in.
The point factor system uses compensable factors to evaluate jobs. Compensable factors are work-related criteria that the organization considers most important in assessing the relative value of different jobs. The MAA plan has three separate units: Unit 1 for hourly blue-collar jobs; Unit 2 for nonexempt clerical, technical, and service positions; and Unit 3 for exempt supervisory, professional, and management-level positions. The MAA plan includes 11 factors divided into four broad categories. The Unit 1 plan is shown here, with the points assigned to factor degrees.
