The Fast Track to Job LevelingThe SRA Storypresented by Jennifer Peacock
The Company • SRA International, Inc.is dedicated to solving complex problems of great significance for government clients in defense, intelligence/homeland security/special operations, health, and civil agencies. • Systems engineering • Development and implementation • Strategic consulting • Business solutions • 1.2 billion in earnings • More than 6,300 employees located in more than 50 locations around the world
The Project • Compensation plan re-design • Standard job descriptions not available for any positions • Leveling tool used • Education • Experience • Summary of duties • Limited access to the leveling tool among managers
The Job Description Project Phase • Compress the Compensation plan re-design effort in order to sync with WorkDay implementation • Needs: • Online job description tool to expedite process • Ability to load data via Excel • Ability to sync with grading tool • Online review process to receive feedback
The Process HRTMS Job Evaluation Implementation Salary Structures Grade Assignments Job Documentation Project Planning Benchmarking
The Goal • 754 job descriptions written from scratch in 8 weeks using 2 interns with no Human Resources or job description experience • How? • Information from Leveling tool • Job descriptions from other companies • HRTMS database • Internet (Monster, SHRM, World at Work, etc.)
The Plight • Job descriptions created in Excel • One job title used for multiple business areas • Data captured in HRTMS needs to be loaded into a global grading system • Up to 27 reviewers per job description • Reviewers at the same level • Ability for reviewers to comment on sections of the job description without changing responsibilities critical
The “Don” Affect • Brainstormed ideas on how to solve out-of-the-ordinary issues • Essentially joined the team – partnership • Worked with HRTMS developers to modify system to work for SRA purposes • Created tools for reporting purposes to be able to run stats as reviews were being done • Continued to tell me that I was insane!
The Solution: Technology to the Rescue • Loaded initial job description data via Excel spreadsheets – employee data and bullet lists • Created job level tab that would capture data needed to load into global grading system • Created process that allowed multiple reviewers without changes being overwritten • Created tool to view date and times reviewers had accessed the system
The Future State • Compensation Project still underway • Once new job structure vetted and approved, job descriptions will be revised • Job description development and review/approval process will be established • Job descriptions will assist in establishing job tracks and career progression which help attract and retain talent
The Lessons • Develop your job description tool before you announce when reviews will begin • Explain how you intend to use the tool with your developer BEFORE the project begins • Spend time planning your process • Set realistic expectations for internal and external team
