How does it work?
The methodology comprises three steps
Step 1 |
Measure the size and complexity of the organization. This is conducted by assessing the following scope measures:
- Annual sales turnover
- Number of employees
- Geographic breadth
- Complexity / diversity
This approach allows for the complexity of large diverse global organizations to be assessed differently from smaller
organizations with a national focus and a single product line. This sets the ceiling grade for the
organization and creates a framework for all roles to be graded. |
Step 2 |
Identify the band for the job by answering 2 to 5 questions (see banding decision tree ). This step assesses the nature of the contribution of the job in one of the predefined dual career paths (either managerial or professional / technical) and the broad orientation of the job. |
Step 3 |
Determine the Global Grade by evaluating the job against seven factors. Each factor (listed below) is described by a series of level descriptors for each band.
- Functional knowledge
- Business expertise
- Leadership
- Problem solving
- Nature of impact
- Area of impact
- Interpersonal skills

These are generic factors that are all weighted to ensure that GGS can be applied throughout any
organization globally, and to any job.
