Scope of the Assignment
We are seeking services of a competent consultant to carry out the following assignment:
- Undertake a comprehensive organizational climate survey
- From emerging issues, propose a model for LVCT Health to address the issues in driving employee engagement
- Facilitate a job analysis and evaluation process to establish relative worth of jobs across projects within the organization and in line with the approved organizational structure, and use the outcome of the process to update the current job grading structure
- Undertake a salary and benefits survey and use the outcome of the survey to develop an equitable and competitive salary and benefits structure for the organization. Based on this, provide recommendations for necessary adjustments to the current salary scales and other conditions of service, as a staff retention strategy
- Support the development and roll out of an effective performance management system, and relate this to the reward system
Assignment Context
- The organization has grown over the past few years in different aspects to include growth in partnerships (with most projects being implemented within consortiums with LVCT as the prime) and in staff head count. The organizational structure has changed to support the delivery of the new strategy.
- With the growth comes complexity in working and reporting. There is disparity of organizational structures across projects, which requires re-alignment.
- Existing jobs have rapidly evolved, and new role demands have come up, requiring need to re-define and re-align jobs, within the redesigned structural framework.
- Within the current organizational and project structures, there are over 190 job titles. These are not necessarily distinct jobs. The job analysis should support the identification of distinct jobs and align job titles.
- With the new jobs/roles coming up, and existing jobs changing in scope (and considering the last job analysis and evaluation was undertaken quite a while back), there’s demand to conduct a job analysis and job evaluation, and review the existing job grading structure. It is expected that the job analysis will allow us to streamline and/or realign reporting relationships across projects.
- Our current salary and benefits structure is based on a survey which was carried out a number of years ago, with annual application of a COLA. There remains a need to ascertain our current positioning vs. our desired positioning relative to the market; and come up with a redesigned market competitive salary and benefits structure, which is aligned to the new job grading structure.
- There is a mix in terms of staff length of stay in the organization across the projects.
