DIMENSIONS In the Guide Charts, the requirements of a job are regarded as universal, and are termed factors, these being sub-divided into "dimensions". The three universal factors are said to be: • Know How • Problem Solving • Accountability The dimensions within each factor vary. Typically the dimensions break down as follows: Know How • Technical Knowledge • Management Breadth • Human Relations Skills Problem Solving • Thinking Environment • Thinking Challenge Accountability • Freedom to Act • Magnitude • Impact The power of the Guide Chart lies in the scoring system and relations of the factors (or the Profile.) POINTS The Hay Guide Chart itself comprises point system, so that after job evaluation in terms of factors, dimensions and gradation, job scores can simply be read from the chart. The point system uses Geometric Progression and not linear. This preserves the integrity of the system at all ends of the grading spectrum. PROFILE Before points were even utilized, Ned Hay developed the Profile system that detailed the relationship between the various factors. This helped to give an understand of the 'shape' of jobs - an understanding of the nature of work performed and the type of job involved e.g., results oriented versus back office support. The Hay Guide Chart is used worldwide and is by far the most popular of the point-factor schemes. EXTERNAL LINKS Hay Group website Hay Group Job Evaluation |
