Learn how Visier's job architecture is used to generate valuable insights from your workforce data.
Overview
Visier's Job Architecture provides a structured framework for defining and organizing jobs consistently across an organization and between multiple organizations.
Benefits

Visier's job architecture consists of the following:
Jobs
A job serves as a label representing the type of work performed by an individual. Jobs within the job architecture are organized into one or more job hierarchies. Each job is characterized by a unique job name.
Jobs hierarchies
All jobs are structured into three-tiered hierarchies, allowing for categorization at varying levels of granularity. In Visier People, this is called Visier Occupation. The general jobs hierarchy organizes all jobs based on similarities in their job descriptions. Additionally, several industry-specific jobs hierarchies are available, organized by the business functions typically found within those industries. Currently, these industry-specific hierarchies include only the most relevant jobs for their respective industries, with plans for future expansion to encompass all jobs.
