30. Staff Classification and Compensation Program

31. Compensation Program UNT is ‘leading the pack’ A competency-based model provides the foundation to improve the talent in the organization by selecting, training, performance managing, and retaining superior performers. UNT is growing, making headlines, and having impact – this includes our HR best practices. Expert rankings in U.S. News & World Report put UNT among the top national universities that are “leading the pack” in innovative changes in academics, faculty, students, campus life, diversity and facilities.

32. Compensation Program Our philosophy has shifted from just compensation planning to talent management. The new program focuses not only on defining the tasks of a position, but on the potential of employees. This requires a renewal in how we think about career progression and professional growth.

33. Compensation Program Enrichment – employees can expand their job, refine their expertise and find depth in areas they enjoy through such avenues as job sharing, job rotation, working on project teams, cross-departmental exposure and committee work, or stretch assignments. Lateral Movement – employees can apply what they know to a new job with different duties and challenges. This improves their current skill set by offering more breadth and may open up more long term career opportunities.

34. Compensation Program Human Resource’s Role To assist and guide the organization in its talent management efforts by: • Recommending policies and procedures around workforce planning and development that reflect best practice. • Allocating pay/classification based on required work. • Advocating for all employees to ensure positions with similar job responsibilities are classified accordingly. • Providing coaching, guidance, and training and development opportunities to enhance skills to improve transferability to other roles.

35. Compensation Program • Began first phase of implementation 9/1/09 with transition to new pay plan • Have initiated a final review process with the leadership team of position placement • Working with leadership team on re-setting timeline to ensure optimal outcome

36. Compensation Program • Utilizing feedback from summer educational sessions to determine best approach for educating staff on the new program as we continue implementation • Due to shift in timeline, will continue to use current performance evaluation tool for the next annual review process

37. Compensation Program • Continue to work with leadership team on new salary administration policy and procedures • Competency development to begin following the final review process • Initiating a process within the next month to gather information regarding working titles that will be uploaded into EIS
