One of the technical aspects of HR is function evaluation. It entails comparing different aspects of the entire human resources function. This can include the level and reach of employees, the location and hours of employment, the state of the economy, the duties of the position, and the overall value the position adds to your company. Function evaluation is based on the idea that similar jobs should be given similarly.
There are different ways of internally ranking functions.
Ranking method: A method in which subject matter experts rank functions in terms of how much they contribute to the organization as a whole. Functions are paired, and raters have to decide which one is more valuable. This is done with all functions, and based on the outcome, a ranking is established.
Classification method: Classification techniques can also be used to divide jobs into various groups. In this instance, a ranking is produced by first classifying the jobs, and then ranking them within these categories. Education, experience, the level of specialized skills required for the job, the demand for these skills, and other factors can all be categorized.
Points method: Positions are ranked by the elements that the company feels are most important to its success. Next, points are given for each job in every category. Key competencies like problem-solving, technical expertise, persuasive and communication skills, inventiveness, business acumen, and so forth can fall under these categories. Each organization will have different needs in these areas.
