    Global Grades

    In order to address the variety of ways companies describe and structure jobs in markets around the world,

    Watson Wyatt has developed the Watson Wyatt Global Grades. This Global Grading System is designed tounderpin survey job matching on a consistent world-wide basis.

    The Watson Wyatt Global Grades methodology allows companies to compare positions in this reference withthose in other references, from country to country, and has its roots in basic job evaluation. The sizing factors

    selected are transferable across national boundaries and provide an appropriate mechanism for job matching.

    The factors include a combination of input factors such as the knowledge, skills and competencies demanded

    by a job/role as well as output factors such as the nature and scope of impact of the job/role within theorganization/business.

    We have used the factor plan to evaluate a broad sample of jobs from our existing survey databases around the

    world. (The Watson Wyatt Data Services Global 50 Remuneration Planning Report includes selected jobs

    that are common and stable to all countries/markets. Many of these jobs are found in all sectors; however, the

    data provided in the study are sourced primarily from the Industrial, High Technology, and Service Sectors.)Because the use of evaluation points on an ongoing basis to differentiate relative job size can be very

    burdensome, we felt that a Global Grading System would be a more immediately useful tool.

    Additionally, we found that while a factor plan will differentiate between job roles as a direct result of

    organization size, it may not be sufficiently sensitive to reflect all organization scope differences that areimportant in the collection and analysis of market data, particularly at senior job levels. We discovered through

    extensive research that there are a number of quantitative and qualitative factors that play a stronger part than

    others in determining the size of roles of senior executives including:

    Sales/Turnover

    Total Assets Under Management (for Financial Institutions)

    Number of Employees

    Complexity/Diversity of Organization and Markets (Domestic, International, Global)

    Geographical Breadth

    The Watson Wyatt Global Grades methodology described above is a 25-grade job-worth hierarchy, and hasbeen applied to each job and job family currently found in all of our surveys/reports. The hierarchy is mapped

    out diagrammatically at the end of this section.

    Benchmark Roles/Jobs

    Each benchmark job, and its levels contained in this survey/report, has been assigned a discrete global grade

    (GG) or a range of grades.

    These levels either reflect a difference in the scope of skills requirements/responsibilities of a single job/role, ordifferent jobs/roles within an organizational hierarchy.

    Broad Grade Band Definitions

    Many participants use a series of broad bands or role levels within their internal compensation program. Our

    Global Grading System can easily reflect that, as shown in the descriptions that accompany each of thegroupings listed below and portrayed in the Global Grade Map.

    Top Management 1 - GG 21-25:This category covers all Senior Executives at the group or board levels in large multinational companies, up to

    and including Chief Executives. Executives in this band will be responsible for defining business strategy and

    contributing to the organization through their vision.

    Top Management 2 - GG 16-20:This category covers all heads of functions or divisions below the group board level in the large multinationalsor Chief Executives in medium to large organizations.

    Heads of Function in this band actively participate in developing company policy and closely advise the Chief

    Executive on strategy. They will contribute to the organization through strategy definition and implementation

    and to their function through their vision.

    Chief Executives and Business Unit Managers in this band will be responsible for defining business strategy

    and contributing to the organization through their vision.

    Middle Management - GG 12-16:This category covers Middle Managers below Heads of Function and/or those reporting to Senior Management

    in medium to large organizations, as well as Top Management positions in small organizations or businessunits. These positions would typically contribute through their people leadership.

    Positions with supervisory responsibility not regarded as having full management status would not be included

    here.

    This category may also coverTechnical Experts, individual contributors who deliver a job that is key to the

    company. These positions would contribute to the organization through their professional leadership.

    Professional/Administration/Junior Management - GG 9-16:This category covers Supervisory Positions and Junior Managers where staff responsibility is a large portion

    of the job, e.g. accounts department supervisors, operations supervisors, etc. The category also includes

    professional staff, e.g. accounting, computing, engineering, marketing, personnel and purchasing staff. Finally

    it also covers some senioradministrativejobs.

    Although similarly leveled, these three employee groups differ in their nature. Junior Management jobs

    contribute primarily through others; administrative jobs contribute independently and professional jobscontribute through the use of their expertise. Some organizations may separate them into different levels based

    on that criterion.

    It also covers basic computing/data processing staff such as operators, customer service assistants and skilled

    craftsmen/technicians, as well as senior production operators and occasionally team leaders in manufacturingenvironments.

    Manual/Junior Clerical - GG 1-4:This category includes manual workers/operatives, messengers, receptionists, telephone operators, and typists
