Who Should Join this Workshop?Building a community
of practice.
It is our firm belief that the
Human Resources is the most
critical function that focuses the
organization’s ability to reach and
effectively deploy talent.
Since 2014, Birches Group has
delivered its training program to
help strengthen human resource
professionals across the different
public and not-for-profit
communities we serve.
We have offered workshops on
Job Design and Evaluation,
Compensation Management,
and Recognition and Reward.
All three courses consistently
highlight the importance of
standards and clarity in human
resources.
We are pleased to offer a
workshop that integrates the
core concepts of our three 3-day
workshops into an intensive 5-
day course.
We invite you to learn more.

Headquarters, regional, and
country-level HR decision-makers
who want to learn how to
optimize their HR programme
and maximize its impact.
Human resources professionals
who seek to build an
understanding of the science of
Human Resources.
Non-HR professionals and leaders
who want to extend their skills by
learning critical people
management concepts.
Translating job
structures to
pay structures.
The module on
Markets will be about
creating pay structures
that can attract, retain,
motivate, and exit staff,
ultimately aligning the
external market to the
internal workforce.
Capturing knowledge
and recognizing
experience.
The module on Skills
will use the same three
factors in job
evaluation to measure
growth in skill that can
be linked to growth in
pay.
Measuring and
rewarding
achievement.
The module on
Performance will
again use the three
factors to measure
performance in a
simple, multi-rater way
to celebrate most of
staff ’s contribution to
the organization.
Let’s begin with jobs.
The job evaluation
framework is the
foundation of effective
compensation design,
skills assessment, and
performance
measurement.
The module on Jobs
will focus on examining
jobs using the simple,
three factors of
Community™:
Purpose, Engagement,
and Delivery.
The Workshop FlowThe Challenge.
Human Resources is often asked
to be a strategic partner in
delivering the organization’s
mission. It is tasked with securing
the talent, building the workforce,
and enabling performance. The
challenge has been not just how to
accomplish all of these but how to
do it in an integrated way.
In the span of five intensive days,
workshop participants will learn
the fundamentals of how to link
four critical areas of
Human Resources:
• Evaluation of Jobs
• Design of Salary Scales
• Assessment of Skills
• Measurement of Performance
Learn from the experience and
expertise of our facilitators and
from other participants.
*Dedicated hours after the workshop
will be available for participants who
wish to discuss any organization-
specific issues in a more in-depth
setting. Slots will be limited and are on a
first come, first served basis.

Learning ActivitiesHands on. Practical.
Learning requires being able to
apply principles and concepts in
practical exercises.
The five-day workshop will feature
interactive plenary sessions that
will allow participants to share
their experience, learn from the
trainers, and learn from each other.
Learning activities and materials
are developed to make
Salary Scale Design.
Participants will be given an Excel™-
based tool and be guided on how to
design an effective salary scale that targets
organization position and composition,
further supporting internal team cohesion
while attaining market competitiveness.
Skills Assessment.
Participants will examine fictional
individual employee profiles aligned to
job descriptions and job levels, to
determine each person’s level of
proficiency across multiple skills
indicators, and overall skills stage.
Performance Evaluation.
Carrying over the fictional employee
profiles used in the previous module,
participants will then assess their level of
achievement against job expectations
within a given performance period.
Job Evaluation.
The concepts from the Jobs module will
be supplemented by guided evaluation
exercises using job descriptions taken
from Birches Group client organizations.
Participants will learn the fundamentals
of design and how to develop and
discern roles across a team consistently
based on principles of equivalent worth.

Practical Exercises.
While the Workshop covers a
broad range of foundational
principles and concepts, it has
been designed to maximize the
number of practical exercises that
will allow participants to quickly
apply their learnings.
Daily diagnostic activities will help
participants examine their own
organizations based on the
practices raised for each module of
the workshop.
Lastly, a case study of a fictional
international NGO country office
has been developed based on
Birches Group’s extensive work in
this sector. This fictional
organization, WeHelp, will serve as
a common reference for the
different practical exercises.

A Few Words from Our Participants
"Overall, the course is quite rich because it covers all aspects of HR especially organization management of staff
within different aspects of the organization- from when you formulate the job to evaluating and looking at the skills assessment and performance appraisal. What I
found innovative was the skills assessment- I would like to look at this further and see how we can adopt that. I also liked the simplicity of the performance evaluation- it does not complicate the process and it is easy to understand.
There is very little training needed and it is quite straight-forward. It helps us see what we can adopt and what we can
do differently to make our work much easier"
-Beatrix Gacho, HR Organization Development Manager, World Agroforestry Center (ICRAF)
“The integrated approach makes it clear for everybody so it is great for transparency. It is also great for accountability and it is very empowering for the HR function and for the employees because you can see how we’ve taken you through the journey and what are the next steps. We can now look critically at what we have so far and say maybe we need to change this.”
-Sophie Paradis, Global Compensation and Benefits Analyst, VSO International
"As a new HR person, I liked the entire concept and because of this
workshop, I really started to appreciate the bigger picture of
Human Resources. When we start using the Birches model, this workshop will facilitate better
understanding and better implementation and clarity in the
organization. We really need to start defining and clarifying the jobs"
-Imelda Abalos, Asia HR Coordinator, EDUCO
