How are organisations using positionevaluation systems?

Position evaluation systems offer organisations anindependent method to compare various aspects of a job and then rank positions against each other. As aresult, companies overcome the ambiguities causedby comparing job titles alone and have an objectivebasis for:

n  Determining pay for positions,

n  Ensuring internal equity across job families, and

n  Measuring the organisation’s positions againstthe market.
