    Job evaluation is the process of analyzing and assessing jobs in an organization to determine their relative worth. It involves gathering job description data, comparing duties and responsibilities between jobs, and determining the hierarchy and grading of jobs. The goals are to ensure fair and equitable wages based on job value, minimize discrimination, and reduce inequalities in salary structure. While job evaluation provides benefits like standardizing pay and helping selection, it can also cause panic among workers being observed which can lower productivity if not properly explained.

    y

    Job evaluations usually involve analysts who observe the workplace in addition to reviewing statistics and procedures. Even when unannounced, these analysts can create a panic in some workers. The resulting impact can range from mild to catastrophic and can include lower productivity, cause

    widespread worry about job security and bring about an increase in the number of mistakes and even outbursts of anger and frustration from the staff. This can be moderated through subterfuge but is better handled by being up front with the staff and explaining that no one is being targeted for lay off or dismissal.
