THE RESEARCH
HOW DO YOU DEFINE FAIR PAY?
What is a job worth?
On face value, the variances in pay rates across roles and sectors can feel subjective and confusing.
Without a tool or system to understand the size and scope of a role, and compare it objectively to other positions, it is impossible to define what ‘fair’ pay looks like. For years, this has been the case for social care, as we have lacked an objective framework to advocate for fair pay for frontline Support Workers.
Unfair To Care provides a vital solution to this conundrum, drawing upon the insight of Korn Ferry, the world’s experts in job evaluation.
Korn Ferry is a leading global consultancy specialising
in organisational management. With an international presence, more than 8,000 employees, and a group turnover in excess of $1.92bn, it is fair to state that it is an exceptionally significant, skilled and respected organisation.
They have developed the world-leading method of
job evaluation. The ‘Korn Ferry Hay Guide Chart – Profile Method’ is the most widely used and accepted platform for role analysis in the world. It has been
used by thousands of organisations across all industry sectors to create effective job evaluation frameworks.
This methodology brings clarity, objectivity, and consistency to understanding roles.
It enables organisations to accurately compare against other job designs in the market and creates data-driven reward systems that are demonstrably ‘fair’ – both internally and externally.
The company’s analysis is thorough, robust,
and nuanced. With the ability to compare pay databases of more than 20 million employees from 25,000+ organisations, it provides an incredible platform to establish the relative value of roles.
