Help with changes to job titles...

Zerina

Hi all,

We recently went trough restructure for one of our functions. Previously we has following titles:

Analyst

Senior Analyst

Consultant 

Senior Consultant 

Principal Consultant 

Under new structure we combines Analyst and Senior Analyst under Associate Solution Consultant role. New structure looks like this:

Associate Solution Consultant 

Solution Consultant 

Senior Solution Consultant 

Principal Solution Consultant 

According to some recent feedback people who are in Associate Solution Consultant roles are not overly happy as previously they would make 

 their way from Analyst to Senior Analyst but now they will stay longer in Associate Solution Consultant role before making it to Consultant level.

Has anyone had similar experience and how did you manage it? Obviously they are thinking about salaries as they would have that promotion jump from Analyst to Senior Analyst but under the current level they just receive usual merit increases or increases that are not as high as they would be if it was case of promotion. 

Many thanks!

  • What was the reason and rationale for these changes in the first place and how much were they top down or bottom up?

    Its not much of a reorganization is it really? Most staff just get a new job title.

    BUT if you were in one of the two lower grades I can well see why you might be unhappy/very unhappy unless there was a strong communication exercise and need to do this. As a "senior Analyst" I am now back lumped with the "junior" analysts. And as you say the "juniors" no longer will receive such attractive terms on progression (and I personally wouldn't see it all being to do with salary. Often people like to get promoted to validate their progression and status. Its something Consultancy businesses do well

    So it will rather come back to why you did it and whats in it for the troops?
