At a Glance
Jera was engaged by a fast-growing Aerospace startup facing issues with job descriptions, career development paths, market competitiveness, and pay equity position, which had caused angst and turnover among employees.
Jera provided a comprehensive solution by first clarifying the compensation philosophy of the organization and creating a future job architecture. Job descriptions were clarified, and current jobs were expanded into clear career development paths with levels for promotion. Jera also obtained market data from appropriate survey sources for all jobs and created pay ranges for all ranges, including different geographic locations.
Change management, training, and communication were integral components of Jera's solution. We helped rollout the new programs and ensured buy-in from managers and employees, thus increasing engagement and adoption rates. This approach not only addressed the organization's concerns but also provided a clear structure for career advancement, increased employee satisfaction and retention, and promoted pay equity.
Jera's expertise in change management, training, and communication proved to be a significant advantage to the client in this situation. Our ability to understand and tailor solutions to the unique needs of the organization ensured that the implementation of the new programs was smooth and successful.
