Job Alignment | The Importance of Job Architecture for Managing Pay Equity

Changing requirements for reporting on equitable pay practices, means that job architecture is now a key tool for implementing, monitoring, and governing pay equity strategies.

What is a job architecture?

A job architecture provides a framework for defining and aligning jobs within your organisation based on the type of work performed.

In its simplest form, a job architecture provides you with a mechanism to consolidate all your job titles into a consistent framework that provides clarity and transparency on career levels and pay.

Jobs (job titles) that have common features are consolidated into job groups, sometimes called job families, or where more sophisticated management of skills and careers is in place, they might be called guilds or professional groups.
