Confused About the Hay Guide Chart Method? How Can I Help My Husband Understand It?

Hi, I am Augustine. My husband's office has just tried to use the Hay Guide Chart method of Job Evaluation. He asked me to help him with this job evaluation because I used to be his assistant, but the information he received was not clear to me. Could anyone please tell me how to use this guide chart method?

Thank you and regards,
Augustine

Hi Augustine,

It feels great to know how you help your hubby in his office as well. 😄 Well, I have some content with me about the Hay Method. I hope it helps you out.

The Hay Method has been applied to evaluate jobs in the UK for the last 30 years. The Hay method is based on the fact that to what extent a job contains the following three elements:

1. Know How
2. Problem Solving
3. Accountability

In addition to these, physical and environmental factors play a significant role.

Know How = Knowledge + Skills + Experience
It consists of three elements:
a. Planning
b. Communicating
c. Depth of Know How

For example, for a senior-level job, planning and communication traits should be present on the higher side of the scale.

Problem Solving: The extent to which a job requires problem-solving. It involves lots of thinking.

Accountability: The extent of answerability in a job.

All the above-listed factors are common for any job; the only difference is the extent of the presence of these factors in different jobs.

I just attempted this; if somebody can give a practical application example, it would be really helpful.

Hi,

I found that Jenny asked the same question in this forum 1 month ago. Please use the search box at the top of the site to find this question. Apart from that, you can also refer to more information at: [Job evaluation books](http://www.vinetbooks.com/job-evaluation-books/).
