Why Job Evaluation and Compensation
Management Matter?

Job Evaluation and Compensation Management – Job evaluation is a method of comparing different jobs to ensure that all staff are graded fairly and equitably – when considering each job in relation to others in the organisation – and equally with other staff undertaking similar jobs or jobs of equal value.


Why is Job Evaluation Important?
Job evaluation and Compensation Management assists an organisation in the following ways:
  • Promotes transparency around pay decisions.
  • Allows for a fair system of remuneration.
  • Enables the gauging of external competitiveness.
  • Supports the notion of equal pay (Equal Pay for Work of Equal Value)
  • Supports recruitment, career development and succession planning.
  • It is very important to note that only the job is evaluated, not the person doing the job.

Advantages of Job Evaluation
Some of the attributes of an effective job evaluation methodology include:
  • Principles are not complex and are usually easily understood.
  • All roles within a business are evaluated using the same methodology.
  • It evaluates specialist roles as effectively as non-specialist roles.
  • It is flexible.

Our role is to evaluate a company’s workforce to ensure that everyone is receiving fair pay for the role they are fulfilling; having a fair compensation scheme increases morale and mental wellness in the workplace. It also makes your company a more attractive place to work.

Birches Group examines labour market conditions of over 150 countries for signs of potential volatility. We mainly keep an eye on economic indicators such as the exchange rate movement of local currencies against the US dollar, Euro, British pound, West African CFA franc, and Japanese Yen.
 
To help human resources leaders stay informed about conditions in emerging markets, Birches Group has released the 15 January 2023 edition of its Market Monitor. This report (download) offers insights into 21 countries that need closer monitoring. Published every two weeks, the Market Monitor is available in English, Spanish, and French.

Here are the latest updates to the report:
Zambia is a new addition to the list showing exchange rate movement exceeding ten percent.
Syria re-enters the list at Level Four.
Three countries that were previously included continue to show declining exchange rate movement and have been removed from our levels of volatility.
We have also included a case study in this update to demonstrate how you can begin to think about your own Special Measures Policy.
