Job Evaluations are "a subjective process carried out within an objective framework". If you don't know much about Job Evaluations and want to get an in depth introduction, this book is prefect.

Divided into 4 parts, it covers the fundamental characteristics of job evaluation, the three main formal JE schemes, the applications of JEs and the practice of JEs.

The book draws a lot from a 2017 survey of a UK rewards firm, plus some other reference material. It is a bit clinical (not quite academic) and so best suited to HR practitioners who want to understand more about job evaluation and pay structures. There is a bit of UK-specific information in the book which makes it better suited for that market, but it still has quite a lot of relevant information for other markets.

Thanks to the publisher & Netgalley for providing me with an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.
