Restructuring of roles and organisational change

Where a business area is undergoing or planning a restructured which involves making changes to more than one job description and/or grade, the proposed restructure should be discussed with the HR Business Partner who will involve the Reward and Recognition Team at the earliest opportunity.

The business area should submit all affected job descriptions along with an up-to-date organisation chart and business case to the HR Business Partner and the Reward and Recognition Team. This is because changes in responsibility in one job can have implications for other jobs and so it is important that they are evaluated as a whole to ensure that grading outcomes are accurate and consistent.

The Reward and Recognition Team in consultation with the appropriate HR Business Partner will liaise with the business area to advise on the timescales required to evaluate all new or changed roles and to advise on any changes which are required to the job descriptions before they are finalised.
