Case Study: First Federal Lakewood modernizes job descriptions and salary grades with Organizational Architecture

First Federal Lakewood updates 200+ job descriptions with Organizational Architecture

First Federal Lakewood, a large independent depositor-owned bank in Ohio, faced challenges with outdated job descriptions and an ineffective salary grade system that no longer aligned with its HR strategy. Their small HR team lacked the bandwidth for a comprehensive overhaul. They engaged Organizational Architecture for its compensation consulting services to address these issues.

Organizational Architecture updated all job descriptions and provided tools for future maintenance. They then conducted a compensation study to create a new, more logical salary grade system, performing an impact analysis to identify pay equity issues. As a result, First Federal Lakewood's HR department now feels confident in its ability to attract and retain talent, and employee satisfaction has increased due to accurate job descriptions.
