Job Information and Description Management Solution

A job description is a statement that outlines the specifics of a particular job, position or role with an organization. It provides details about the responsibilities, conditions of the job and the qualifications needed to perform the position.

At UMMS, a job description is created after the HR Compensation group performs a job analysis that looks at each position in depth and creates a comprehensive description of what the job entails.

What is a Job Description?

What is included on a Job Description?

Job Title

– a term that describes in a few words the position held by an employee. Depending on the job, a job title can describe the level of the position or the responsibilities of the person holding the position

.

Job Code

– individualized sets of numbers assigned to different jobs in order to identify the position in a data system.Department – a specialized functional area within an organization. Grade – a pay grade is a step within a compensation system that defines the amount of pay an employee will receive. The vertical steps in a pay grade chart refer to the level of the responsibilities defined by the job's requirements.Position Summary – a brief, general statement of the more important functions and responsibilities of a job.Essential Functions of the Position – are functions that the person holding the job must be able to perform.Non Essential Functions of the Position – are functions that do not affect the essence of the job and could be reassigned to another employee.

How do we use our Job Descriptions?

Provides the basis for the design of our compensation structure

Assists in determining the FLSA status of the position

Helps to create a job hierarchy with defined career paths, learning paths, and succession planningIn the annual performance reviews process and goal setting

For equity increases, promotions and transfers

Is used as the basis for workforce planning and forecasting

During the hiring process, defines the role of the position and the ideal candidate to fill it

Assists hiring managers in choosing candidates for interviewsAt the interview, can serve as the basis for interview questions Is a tool to assist managers to communicate to an employee their role and responsibilities Is used to comply with the American Disabilities ActIs used in the corrective action process5

Compensation views the job description as a foundational element that is used to perform its function and support the sustainability and growth of UMMS.

It is critical that each job description be accurate and up-to-date.

Without an accurate job description:

It is impossible to perform the necessary market analysis to grade the position and provide a competitive salary range for prospective and current incumbents.

It is impossible for a manager to maximize the dollars spent on employee compensation for the position unless the education, experience, and skills needed for the job are detailed and matched to prospective applicants and current employees.

Job Descriptions and Compensation

The UMMS Competency Model

A new UMMS Competency Model was introduced in 2017 as a major organizational development initiative to help define, assess, and promote our mission, financial and organizational success, reinforce our results driven culture, shape expectations and encourage high performance.

Additionally, our Competency Model is a foundational cornerstone of our compensation, talent management, employee engagement, professional development and retention strategies.

Our Competency-based job descriptions, that include our enterprise-wide core competencies, as well as the position-specific competencies, are the first step in setting our employees up to succeed.

7

UMMS Core Competencies

In addition to position specific competencies, there are 6 + 1 core elements to the Competency Model – six that apply to all employees at every level and a seventh that applies to those with supervisory and management responsibilities.

PROBLEM SOLVING/DECISION MAKING

– conveys the essential ability to make good decisions and respond effectively to challenges often under stress and with limited information.

QUANTITY/QUALITY of WORK

– we expect UMMS employees to consistently produce a high volume of excellent work.

SERVICE ORIENTATION

– our ultimate purpose is to provide superior service to all of our constituent stakeholders both internal and external and to always strive to exceed their expectations.8

UMMS Core Competencies (Continued)

In addition to position specific competencies, there are six core elements to the Competency model, five that apply to all employees at every level and a sixth that applies to those with supervisory and management responsibilities.

ACCOUNTABILITY

– All UMMS employees hold themselves accountable for their actions and for producing expected results. They hold their colleagues to these same standards.

INITIATIVE

– UMMS employees are expected to take a proactive approach to work focusing on continuous incremental improvement in all areas as well as opportunities for innovation.DIVERSITY/INCLUSION - You currently work in a department with employees from different backgrounds and experiences. You can demonstrate diversity and inclusion skills by engaging with these employees and encouraging feedback so that all have the opportunity to contribute equally.7. LEADERSHIP/MANAGEMENT – people in roles involving coordination/ supervision of others are required to select and hire top tier talent, empower and inspire them to contribute to the full extent of their abilities, and to make sure that their teams achieve all organizational goals and expectations to which they are assigned.

Competency-based job descriptions and the

2020-2025 HR Strategic Plan

Our competency-based job descriptions will serve as the foundation for making UMMS an Employer of choice where employees feel as if they are encouraged to continue to develop their skills and careers.

For each UMMS position, HR will design and implement a Job Family framework.

HR will develop an internal career management model to ensure that employees at all levels have the competencies, skills, knowledge and experience needed to fulfill their short- and long-term professional ambitions at UMMS.

The model will include internal career ladder matrices and learning paths for all staff positions to assist managers and employees with discussions on advancement and career progression.

Learning strategies will be closely linked to the career paths, internal mobility and succession planning.

10

Competency-based job descriptions and the

2020-2025 HR Strategic Plan

We will offer an Individual Development Plan (IDP) to our employees to assist them in achieving their career and professional development goals at UMMS.

the IDP is designed to help managers, employees and HR understand the development needs of each employee and translate those needs into a defined career path.

t

he IDP will also assist in setting expectations between employees and their managers for specific learning objectives and a timeframe in which to achieve them.

Using our Learning Management System (LMS) for content and tracking, give employees visibility how they can progress from one position to the next at UMMS and how long a typical progression path will take for them.

So, Where do we Start?

JDXpert is our new web-based job description management solution.

This system is accessed via the JDX cloud platform and allows us to bring structure and process efficiency to the way we construct, manage and store job our descriptions.

It gives us the power to improve governance with workflows, version control and role-based approvals.

13

JDXpert

JDXpert provides user-friendly tools to assist managers in writing job descriptions.

Once completed, JDXpert will manage the workflow by moves the job description through the steps in the approval process so that the management team at the department level can review the job description and approve the content before it gets to HR Compensation for final review.

This cloud based process will be a significant improvement to our current manual process of emailing documents between the manager and the Compensation team.

JDXpert is integratable to work with recruitment, performance management, compensation planning and organizational development

14

What will you need to do?

As of this date, our entire library of UMMS job descriptions have been uploaded into JDXpert.

HR Compensation has reviewed the following sections of each job description: Summary, Qualifications, and Core Competencies.

We are asking that you now go into JDXpert and review each of your job descriptions.

That will include making sure the Essential Functions that are currently documented are accurate, add any Non-essential functions if needed, add the Position Specific Competencies and document the Physical Demands of the positions.

15

You will also be able to edit and revise your job description at this time as well as add any information that you would like to.

The system also allows you to create new positions for Compensation to review, modify and approve in the future.

Once you have completed the current review process, you should plan to sit with each of your employees and review the job description with them

paying special attention to the position specific competencies that you have selected for them as well as the sections that address compliance under the ADA.

On an annual basis, before the review and merit cycle, we will be asking managers to review each of their job descriptions and recertify that the description is accurate or make any necessary revisions.

This is a necessary requirement that will be needed to keep UMMS SOC 2 compliant

.

Compensation will send out a memo when it is time to begin the annual review process. 16
