If you know Chelsea Penaloza, you know she doesn’t hold back when it comes to the big topics that shape today’s workplaces. From pay equity to the foundations of HR strategy, she’s not new to sharing her refreshingly honest thoughts — and job architecture is one of her favorite subjects.
Ahead of our upcoming LinkedIn Live event, Advancing Pay Equity through Job Architecture and Analytics on October 30th, Chelsea is back with even more unfiltered insights into what makes job architecture a cornerstone of effective people strategy.
“Job architecture is like the architecture of your house. It’s not the most exciting part, but your house falls down if you don’t have it.”
“If you don’t have the framework in place, you’re never going to get it done “later”. So doing the work to set it up is super important, even if it takes years of iterations to get the full value out of it.”
“The benefits of job architecture are immense because it allows you to have conversations about career growth, compliance, and even pay transparency, giving leaders the tools to support their people better.”
“Job architecture is more than just HR work — it’s about aligning people, performance, and pay to meet business goals.”
“Job architecture evolves over time, but setting it up correctly from the start gives you a huge advantage in managing your people and jobs.”
“One of the biggest wins of job architecture is transparency: employees can see where they are, where they can grow, and what’s expected to get there.”
“If you don’t have executive buy-in, don’t do it. Spend the time to get leaders aligned and on board, or the whole project might not go anywhere.”
