Ant Group recently launched a round of rank reform, and it is reported that one of the biggest changes in the reform is the "split" of the original rank.
According to the news of "Dachang Youth"**, the new rank system reform notice has been issued on the morning of the 12th, in which the P4 rank remains unchanged, and the ranks from P5 to P9 are "split" according to performance, specifically P5 corresponds to 10 and 11 levels, P6 corresponds to 12 and 13 levels, P7 corresponds to 14 and 15 levels, P8 corresponds to 16 and 17 levels, and P9 corresponds to 18 and 19 levels.
According to the report, most of the new ranks in this round of reform are twice the current ranks, for example, P6 now corresponds to 12 grades, and P7 corresponds to 14 grades. Only a small number of employees with long tenure and excellent performance can reach the rank (*2+1).
This rank reform has actually been reflected in Taotian Group, a subsidiary of Alibaba Group. According to previous reports, Taotian Group officially released the "Taotian Group Employee Performance Management System" in August this year, which took effect immediately, which divides performance management into quarterly evaluations and divides them into three grades.
The email also mentioned that Taotian Group is developing an organizational change plan, and performance management will be unified and coordinated with the subsequent introduction of hierarchy and incentive system. The overall scheme is still in the design stage and is expected to be launched by the end of December this year at the earliest.
Since this year's "1+6+N" organizational change, Alibaba has carried out a number of major reforms, among which Tmall Group has achieved comprehensive independent operation and management. According to a report by 36Kr, Tmall Group launched the largest human resource system reform in recent years in July, canceling the P sequence, and changing the P8 level and above to organizational appointments. **Tmall Group responded that reform is inevitable and necessary, and the plan is still in the research stage.
In addition, according to LatePost, Taotian Group is also considering increasing the ranks of junior employees (P sequence from 14 to 28) to simplify the way of promotion. At the same time, they plan to adjust the OKR appraisal system to an appraisal system in which OKRs and KPIs are parallel, and KPI-based appraisal systems are the main ones. In addition, teams of more than ten people will be forced to have a final elimination.
