THE RESEARCH
MEASURING THE TRUE VALUE OF A FRONTLINE CARE AND SUPPORT WORKER – THE KORN FERRY METHODOLOGY
On face value, the variances in pay rates across distinct 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 the sector has lacked an objective framework to advocate for fair pay for frontline care and support workers.
Unfair To Care provides a vital solution to this dilemma, 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 $2.84bn, 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 world’s most widely used and accepted
platform for role analysis. 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 a role.
