Culture | Where to begin with job families?

Getting your job data house in order is never as easy as it first seems. You need to get a consolidated view of the jobs that you have in your organisation to understand the commonality of skills, jobs and work and the overriding framework that will be required for job families.

The traditional way to do this is to use a top-down approach involving in-depth conversations with individual teams to gain an understanding of what a specific function or department does, what jobs exist and the nature of work and skills. The challenge is that this can be quite a time-consuming and resource-intensive process.
