JOB EVALUATION
PERMÓ - A PROCESS FOR THE NEXT MILLENIUM
As organisations have changed in the last decade of the 20th century, so the need for job evaluation has adapted. For many, job evaluation has become a thing of the past, as organisations attempt to reward people's skills flexibly, rather than relying on job evaluated pay hierarchies. The result has been a move toward competency based pay but without the job evaluation tools to cope with it. NOW THAT IS IN THE PAST.
WHAT IS PERMÓ ? PERMÓ is a competency based job evaluation technique. Using a simple 9 point measuring scale and a computer programme running in Lotus, it is possible to evaluate jobs against 27 competency factors. These are grouped in to 3 main categories, with further subdivisions:- 1. Knowledge
2. Achievement Capability 2a) Interpersonal Skills 2b) Task Skills 2c) Organising & Leadership Skills
3. Effectiveness Capability 3a) Drive 3b) Focus PERMÓ also measures ancillary factors like working hours, size of company, location, industry, etc. SIMPLE TO OPERATE The system is so simple to operate that job holders can even use it to evaluate their own jobs, though of course a more conventional approach may be preferred.
AUTOMATIC JOB PRICING The system can easily include an organisation's pay policy line or grades, so that as well as providing a points evaluation, it can price the job as well. An external survey database is planned.
EXTENDED USES For those who wish for a fully integrated system, it can be used for performance appraisal, 360 degree feedback, succession planning and career development. It can even be used as a training needs analysis tool. Ask for a demonstration by calling Peter Hunt, The Success Foundation, 01582 733581 |
