Job Architecture – The Foundation of a Modern People System

As businesses grow and expand, many organizations are seeking a more structured, transparent, and scalable approach to human resource management. Job Architecture provides a strategic foundation to define, organize, and standardize job roles, capabilities, and career progression across the enterprise.

What is Job Architecture?

Job Architecture is a structural framework that shapes the core elements of a modern HR system, including:

• Job levels and role hierarchy

• Job descriptions and competency criteria

• Career pathing and internal mobility

• Job value-based compensation structures

• Integration between individual performance and organizational goals

When properly designed, Job Architecture enhances organizational effectiveness and provides employees with a clear, fair, and aspirational development journey.

A Methodology Grounded in Global Standards

One of the most widely recognized and implemented frameworks around the world is the methodology developed by Hay Group (now part of Korn Ferry), known for its job evaluation model based on three core dimensions:

🔹 Know-How

🔹 Problem Solving

🔹 Accountability
