Job Description Management System

Overview

With more than 16,000 employees, this Southern California energy company develops energy infrastructure, operate utilities, and provide associated products and services to more than 32 million consumers worldwide. With such an expansive reach in their marketplace and vast number of employees, emphasis was placed on maintaining and managing their job descriptions, and their various versions.

The Problem

Prior to utilizing JDXpert, the company’s job descriptions were primarily Word documents, which were stored on shared drives and SharePoint sites. One of the biggest issues they encountered was version control. Multiple versions of job descriptions in various stages of revision, could exist alongside other job descriptions that changed based on current manager status, which was cause for confusion.

Looking for a way to manage job descriptions vs. using word processors to keep track

Another significant issue was managing the timeline and record of when a specific job description was reviewed and who was involved in the review and approval process.

To address these issues initially, they created a core team consisting of select compensation professionals within each business unit. The team took best practices from each business unit to develop a consistent approach and process for all to use going forward when dealing with their job descriptions.

They recognized the need to implement a more streamlined and organized job description management system that could provide a single, centralized database to store all job descriptions, controlled access to job descriptions by business unit, easy and intuitive navigation for end users, workflow capability for reviews and updates with date and time stamp, and integration with an HRIS system.

The Solution

The team realized that JDXpert could meet these needs, and they felt comfortable with the implementation process and timeline. JDXpert has proven to be a valuable resource for this energy company, as the team is working towards having job descriptions for every job that has been reviewed, with updated documentation and tracking information. The company’s Compensation and HR teams are happy with the solutions JDXpert has provided thus far. The system and its ability to send out workflows makes reviewing and updating job descriptions much simpler than it has been in the past.

Success

In the future, they will look to further integrate JDXpert with their HRIS and will utilize JDXpert to fill certain voids as they implement a large scale HRIS upgrade.

JDXpert is an intuitive system that our HR team and line managers can navigate through easily."

"The ability to customize the set up to accommodate the interface between our HRIS system as well as extract for use with other systems has been a big benefit to migrating to JDXpert. We were able to build in logic that flows between our systems and it is working well for us."

JDXpert is easy to use. As an organization that was managing job descriptions manually, this has been a game changer. The hardest part was the implementation process due to our many unique processes and use of multiple systems. The team was extremely understanding and supportive. Now, we have the ability to manage several job descriptions at the same time without being overwhelmed. I am a very pleased with JDXpert.

Our shift to JDXpert has provided us with a fresh, visually-appealing approach to job description management and consistency in our drafting process.
