L&Q: Efficient Approach to Job Evaluation, Grading & Pay

London & Quadrant (L&Q) is one of the UK’s leading housing associations and one of London’s largest residential developers. They own or manage over 90,000 homes in London and the South East.

How we helped London and Quadrant (L&Q)

Our Solution

First, we suggested adopting multi-purpose role profiles. These replace the existing job descriptions which had largely become task lists. The role profiles would include the job purpose and main accountabilities, as well as financial and people management dimensions.

Secondly, we suggested replacing the previous job grading arrangements with our own PAYgrade job evaluation system. Together with its web-based software application it is simple to set up and maintain, and would enable a rapid transfer of skills to the L&Q HR Team.
