Job Description Organizational Strategy – Job Evaluation & Grading Organizations today face increasing pressure to ensure transparency, internal equity, and structural clarity. The workforce expects fairness and visibility into career progression. Regulatory developments such as EU Pay Transparency are reshaping how companies design and structure their roles. At the same time, new roles are constantly emerging, and flatter structures mean that clarity in job architecture is more critical than ever. We support organizations in building robust and future-proof job architectures. We help define job families, career paths, role complexity, and grading structures. Using the Korn Ferry Hay job evaluation methodology, supported by digital tools and platforms, we ensure organizations have consistent, transparent, and defensible frameworks for role evaluation and classification.
