Job Architecture
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. This architecture is integrated within the Visier platform and supports various solutions. By using Visier's Job Architecture, organizations can standardize their jobs and enhance employee data for better analytic insights.
Benefits
Standardizing jobs to a shared architecture, such as Visier's, establishes a consistent view that allows for meaningful comparisons between similar jobs across different departments or organizations. This consistency is essential for accurate workforce analysis related to specific jobs or job families, and it is particularly important when utilizing job-specific benchmarks such as resignation rates or compensation.
Composition
Visier People
The job architecture that is integrated in Visier People consists of jobs and job hierarchies.
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.
