Perform | Job Architecture – Levels & Tracks

The Job Architecture module now enables organizations to define a standardized career structure using Levels & Tracks. This foundational framework helps create consistency in role expectations, career progression, performance evaluation, and compensation planning across the organization.

With this release, administrators can configure global career levels and map roles into structured career tracks such as Individual Contributor, Managerial, and Executive paths.

What’s New

1. Configure Global Career Levels

• Define the organization-wide level range (e.g., Level 1 to Level 8).
• Choose a naming format for levels:
  • Numeric (1, 2, 3…)
  • Alphanumeric (L1, L2, L3…)
• Preview level formatting before finalizing the setup.

2. Create Career Tracks

• Set up career tracks based on organizational structure, such as:
  • Individual Contributor
  • Management
  • Executive
• Specify the start and end levels for each track.
• Add optional descriptions for better clarity.

3. Optional Job Title Configuration

• Define job titles with structured metadata including:
  • Experience requirements
  • Role descriptions
  • Responsibilities
  • Skills with expected ratings and weightage

4. Flexible Setup Options

• Start with Levels & Tracks configuration even if job titles are not finalized.
• Modify track-level mappings before saving the architecture.
  
  

Business Benefits

Important Notes
