Assignment Context

The organization has grown over the past few years in different aspects to include growth in partnerships (with most projects being implemented within consortiums with LVCT as the prime) and in staff head count. The organizational structure has changed to support the delivery of the new strategy.
With the growth comes complexity in working and reporting. There is disparity of organizational structures across projects, which requires re-alignment.
Existing jobs have rapidly evolved, and new role demands have come up, requiring need to re-define and re-align jobs, within the redesigned structural framework.
Within the current organizational and project structures, there are over 190 job titles. These are not necessarily distinct jobs. The job analysis should support the identification of distinct jobs and align job titles.
With the new jobs/roles coming up, and existing jobs changing in scope (and considering the last job analysis and evaluation was undertaken quite a while back), there’s demand to conduct a job analysis and job evaluation, and review the existing job grading structure. It is expected that the job analysis will allow us to streamline and/or realign reporting relationships across projects.
Our current salary and benefits structure is based on a survey which was carried out a number of years ago, with annual application of a COLA. There remains a need to ascertain our current positioning vs. our desired positioning relative to the market; and come up with a redesigned market competitive salary and benefits structure, which is aligned to the new job grading structure.
There is a mix in terms of staff length of stay in the organization across the projects.

Approaches to the Assignment
As regards to the approach to the assignment, the consultant is free to employ an approach which he/she considers to work best to achieve the objectives. However, the consultant is expected to take into account the following elements:

Work closely with the HR Team Lead and a committee which shall be selected, as the principal counterparts on this exercise.

Inputs

LVCT Health will provide key documents that will be identified for literature review, and facilitate logistics during any workshop, identify venue and take care of related workshop costs if a workshop is required.
