A Foundation to Support Your Future.
Job Architecture & Career Paths
People and the positions they hold are the foundation of your organization.
Having the right infrastructure to support those people helps ensure the right skills and roles for the future, motivates desired behaviors, attracts and retains talent, and combats the challenges of pay equity, skill gaps, and employee satisfaction.
A well-organized AEC firm is a more successful firm. Together, let’s build a strong yet flexible job architecture on which you can build your future. Below, explore the details of how we can achieve the best job architecture for your organization.
Job Hierarchy
Charting Your Course
An important layer of your job architecture is the Job Hierarchy, which outlines levels of authority and responsibility within the company. Using what we’ve learned through the Job Classification process, we help you group roles into job families, determine hierarchy levels, and define reporting relationships.
With Job Hierarchy, we go beyond the surface-level reporting represented in an organizational chart to meet your big-picture needs and goals. Creating a Job Hierarchy is critical for maintaining clarity of roles, responsibilities, and career progression pathways for your firm’s future.
Job Classification
Start from the Ground Up
First things first; we work closely with your team to understand your existing job roles and hierarchies, as well as your long-term goals and growth plans.
From there, we thoroughly analyze each role to develop a Job classification system based on tasks, responsibilities, skills, qualifications, and reporting structure. Job Classification provides a standardized structure for performance reviews, pay equity, recruiting, determining whether positions overlap in a company and career pathing.
