Electronic job evaluation software is a valuable tool in assessing an organization. It is often more reliable than traditional, pen-and-paper based evaluations, as the electronic assessments are designed to be more consistent across different managers, different times and different locations. - The International Position Evaluation (IPE) system was developed by Mercer as a way to consistently measure a staff position's size and value. To measure this, jobs are analyzed according to impact, communication, innovation and knowledge, with a fifth factor, risk, included as an optional point of analysis.
These five factors are then split into additional dimensions such as "complexity" and "contribution," which are individually weighted. The system has multilingual capabilities, and can be used by management worldwide. - JEM helps managers to assess and organize their businesses by linking between jobs, job size, capability, planning and talent management; ensuring fair and consistent payment across staff and enabling management to access and store important records from a single location. JEM is a Web-based system, accessible at any time, and secured by data encryption and password control.
- OMF, a market-based job evaluation program developed by CompExec, is designed to assess the market worth of jobs within job families, and is mainly used to plan salary amounts and distribution. Survey sources for salaries and other data points can be used with the program to predict appropriate salary grades for different jobs.
