Introduction

This specialized program, designed by Global Horizon Training Center, provides a structured and practical approach to mastering job analysis and job evaluation as critical components of modern Human Resource Management.

In increasingly competitive labor markets, organizations must ensure that their pay and grading structures are equitable, transparent, and aligned with both organizational strategy and employee expectations. This program equips participants with the methodologies required to systematically analyze roles, evaluate job worth, and design compensation frameworks that support performance, motivation, and retention.

Participants will explore a range of analytical and non-analytical job evaluation techniques, develop job profiles, and learn how to translate evaluation outcomes into effective pay structures. The program also addresses the strategic dimension of compensation, enabling participants to advise senior management on reward systems that balance cost control with talent attraction and retention.
