Are folks familiar with the new Career Compass / Job
Standards project?

http://careercompa

Part of this is the "mapping" of everyone's
current job title and job  
description into a new job field / job family structure (and
new job  
titles and descriptions for most folks).

It looks like Information Technology...

...is up to bat in the first round, starting this month:

ine.html

I haven't heard too much chatter in IT channels about the
new  
mapping.  We're kind of scratching our heads in our
department, as we  
go through these new matrices and try to figure out how our
staff  
fits in.  We're finding that some positions seem to map very
easily,  
while others seem kind of split across a couple of fields.

There is a 30-day comment period mentioned on the timeline
page.   
Make sure to get your feedback in!

I had a conversation with Rich Lau, Compensation manager
about this 
very issue.  He said to fit it as best you could into one
job 
description. There will be some exceptions where someone is
doing two 
very different jobs that have clear descriptions and in that
case it 
may be appropriate to submit two job descriptions (e.g. they
are a 
P/A in the morning and work in a wet lab in the afternoon).
Then, 
during the process of review and classification by the
Compensation 
Consultants, they will determine if it requires more than
one 
field.  This is very much a work in progress and, as such, a
huge 
undertaking which will require many adjustments.

In any event, use the job description that fits best and let

Compensation sort it out.  Also, your HR people should be on
top of 
this and you can consult with them as well.
