TRAINING METHODOLOGY:

The Process would be highly participatory. Our facilitators will provide a learning environment through which participants would effectively acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and practical aspects of Job Evaluation. The straight lecture would be rare. Case studies and Examples drawn from particular relevant organizations would be used frequently.  These would be supported, where appropriate, by a variety of stimulating videotaped programs, role-plays, management games and exercises, syndicated work and focused group discussions.

FACULTY OF CONSULTANTS/COURSE FACILITATORS:

Our effectiveness is based on the quality of our professional staff, most of which have held senior positions in management before moving into consultancy. A heavy emphasis is placed on expertise and experience, backed by excellent education and training. All our Consultants are graduates, with most having higher degrees and professional qualifications. Some have served in University Faculties and are well-known authorities in their fields.

The course would be facilitated by a multi-disciplinary Team of consultants with proven experience in Development of Job Descriptions and Specifications; Job Evaluation; Design of Grading Structures; Salary and Benefits Survey; and Design of Pay and Benefits Structures.
