When managers and staff are clear about the purpose of their roles, they become empowered and focused on achieving your organization’s mission. Good organizational design enables the team and creates and maintains effective team structures.
Our Community™ approach to integrated workforce management puts jobs at the foundation of HR. Jobs are the primary unit of measure that allows us to create HR standards that guide all HR functions, from compensation to recruitment, to learning and development, and performance management.
Community™ is organized around four areas of focus for human resources – Jobs, Market, Skills, and Performance – to support a full range of human resources management functions. Jobs and Market form the structural components of the organization – jobs and pay, while Skills and Performance define the capacity – the knowledge and capacity of individuals and the measurement of performance.

We help organizations tailor policies that reach the talent needed to deliver programs addressing the world’s most difficult issues.
We provide insights to balance the practical and political pressures modern governmental & inter-governmental institutions are facing.
