Hay Group's Job Evaluation Method

Hay Group's Job Evaluation Method is a systematic way to assess the relative worth of jobs within an organization. It evaluates jobs based on three key factors: Know-How (the skills and knowledge required), Problem Solving (the mental effort needed), and Accountability (the level of responsibility). These factors are scored to determine a job’s size and importance, helping establish fair pay structures. The method provides a consistent, transparent approach to compare roles, support organizational hierarchy, and ensure equity in compensation across different positions.
