Tuned Assessment of Skills and Knowledge (T.A.S.K.®)

T.A.S.K.^® is a widely used and well-established web-based job evaluation system. It is a factor- and skills-based system, which recognises the natural progression of knowledge and skills required to perform jobs at the various levels of the organisation.

Deloitte has incorporated feedback from users, best practice and research to streamline the functionality of the system, while maintaining its reliability. T.A.S.K.^® is already known for its clarity and ease of use, and in our review of thesystem, we have further enhanced this aspect, making the grading process moreefficient, more reliable and more transparent.

The skill levels and grades in the T.A.S.K.^® system correlate directly to the Paterson bands and grades. T.A.S.K.^® is a propriety product of Deloitte, cementing our interest in maintaining and enhancing the system for its users.

We are also excited to announce that T.A.S.K.^® is the first job grading system with a 100% eLearning capability, in which licensed users can learn to grade online.

Job grading is critical in business today – organisations need a defensible method for the structuring and differentiation of pay. Job grading is an objective, reliable, fair and defensible process for comparing job complexity. Job grades assist in defining career paths, provide a rational basis upon which to build and maintain an equitable pay structure and are a justifiable method for establishing the internal and external worth or size of a job.
