At LBJ Consultants, we support organisations to build fair, defensible, and sustainable pay frameworks through robust Job Evaluation and Salary Review services.
A well-designed grading and pay structure is more than a compliance exercise. It underpins trust, supports retention, and gives leaders confidence that reward decisions are objective, equitable, and aligned to organisational values.
A Structured, Evidence-Based Approach
LBJ Consultants delivers a comprehensive Job Evaluation and Salary Review designed to create clarity and consistency across your organisation. Our approach establishes a transparent grading and pay framework that supports fairness, workforce planning, and long-term sustainability.
This methodology is particularly effective for values-led organisations, including those operating within the voluntary, charitable, and employee-focused sectors, where equity, accountability, and trust are fundamental.
How We Deliver Job Evaluation
We lead a structured and consistent evaluation process across the organisation. This includes:
- Employee interviews to gain a full understanding of each role
- Completion of Job Analysis Forms to capture responsibilities, tasks, and required skills
- Assessment using established, objective evaluation factors
From this process, we develop clear job profiles that are formally agreed by both the role holder and their line manager. This ensures shared understanding, transparency, and organisational ownership of role content and expectations.
Salary Review and Grading Structure
Following job evaluation, roles are grouped into defined job families and allocated to pay grades. Each grade is designed with three clearly defined pay bands, providing a transparent and controlled approach to pay progression within role level.
This grading structure enables organisations to:
- Manage pay progression in a consistent and cost-controlled way
- Recognise developing capability, full competence, and advanced contribution within the same grade
- Maintain strong internal equity while retaining flexibility to support reward and retention decisions
The result is a framework that balances fairness with commercial sustainability.
What You Receive
On completion of the engagement, LBJ Consultants provides:
- Fully agreed job profiles for all evaluated roles
- A clear, defensible grading framework with three pay bands per grade
- Salary ranges that support consistency, progression, and fairness, aligned to organisational values and appropriate market positioning
Supporting Confident Pay Decisions
A robust job evaluation and grading framework gives leaders confidence that pay decisions are evidence-based, transparent, and legally defensible. It also reassures employees that roles are rewarded fairly, strengthening engagement and trust across the organisation.
If you are considering a Job Evaluation or Salary Review and want a clear, structured approach that delivers lasting value, LBJ Consultants can help.
