The process of setting and evaluating an employee's job title level typically involves the following key steps:
Formulate professional title evaluation standardsFirst of all, enterprises need to develop a clear set of professional title evaluation standards according to business needs and industry standards. These criteria should cover the required educational background, work experience, professional skills, project outcomes, leadership skills, etc.
Establishment of a job hierarchy systemCompanies: Companies usually establish a job hierarchy to clarify the responsibilities, rights, and expected outcomes of different job titles. For example, titles such as Associate Engineer, Engineer, Senior Engineer, etc., will have different responsibilities and expectations.
Employee self-assessmentDuring the title review process, employees may be required to conduct a self-assessment and submit a report that includes their educational background, work history, professional skills, project cases, and any relevant achievements.
Evaluations from direct superiors: An employee's immediate supervisor evaluates their performance, usually based on their performance in their day-to-day work, project contributions, and teamwork skills.
Peer review or jury evaluationIn some cases, a company may set up a review committee or use peer review to evaluate employees. These judges are typically made up of senior executives, HR representatives, and industry experts.
Objectives vs. resultsDuring the evaluation process, the employee's actual performance and results are compared with the established job requirements and goals to determine whether they are eligible for promotion.
Interview or defenseIn some cases, employees may be required to attend an interview or defense to demonstrate their expertise and skills, as well as their ability to solve complex problems.
Comprehensive assessmentThe final decision will be made by the judging committee based on the employee's self-evaluation, supervisor's evaluation, peer review results, and interview or defense performance.
Publicity and feedbackThe results of the review will be published within the company to ensure the transparency of the review process and provide feedback and development suggestions to employees.
Job title promotions and recordsFor employees who pass the review, the company will officially announce their title promotion and update the relevant records in the employee file.
The entire review process should be fair, transparent and orderly to ensure that employees are promoted based on their abilities and contributions, rather than other non-professional factors. At the same time, companies should also provide guidance and support for employees in their career development to help them meet the promotion requirements.
