Background

Project duration: 1 year

Scope: Industry sector

The Main Challenge

Update the industry-level classification system, which had not been revised for several decades, to align it with the current and future needs of companies and employees, in particular by:

  • Designing a new classification framework based on job evaluation criteria and job ratings

  • Incorporating gender equality considerations

  • Facilitating the recognition of key skills and creating genuine career development pathways

  • Reassessing the distinction between managerial and non-managerial roles, the identification of benchmark jobs, references to qualifications, and automatic seniority-based progression

The Quintet Method

  • An in-depth assessment

  • Support in drafting and negotiating the classification agreement

  • The rollout and implementation of the new system, giving companies, employees and their representatives the tools they need to understand the new classification framework
