Employee Banding & Levels

Hello Everybody,

I find that employee banding/levels/grading by whatever name it is called is still in a primitive stage in a majority of the family-run businesses here.

Attached is a file on generic employee banding and levels. My opinion is this is ok for a small setup (less than 100 employees) with a simple org. structure.

What is your opinion? Looking forward to your responses.

Have a happy long weekend

Cheers
Geetha

Hi Geetha

Thats a very useful post.

Can you please let me know if this has been implemented in any organization? The company that I am working for is also looking to get a grading system in place. However, the difficulty is that they have a very primitive & salary based grading system. The challenge is that senior guys, who have been here for a long time are not open to having a grading system which is scientific & benchmarked.

Have you also faced these challenges?

It would be informative if the forum can discuss this & share their experiences & views on this.

Hi Shaila,

Yes, it is being implemented in an organzation. My observation is - if the organization is a home-grown one, then there is the intention of turning it into a professional one. Intention is there, plans are approved but when you actually get down to implement it there is going to be a number of exceptions. (this is specific to org's keen on emiratization)

My approach here has been to give everything in small bites and introduce new things very very gradually. At times this approach is boring and frustrating but if my objective is to implement it successfully then this is how it works!!!!

'Scientific???' - what is that???!!!

For any HR initiative here to implement it directly to the mature stage is tough. There are very few people who understand, appreciate and approve the mature initiatives. Only the primitive 'easily visible' initiatives are accepted. Once this is implemented moving it to the next phase is fairly easy.

I re-iterate - this is not the scenario in MNC's. This is specific to 'quasi-government' like organizations here!!!
