Organizational Design & Position Classification

Questions and answers

OPM can help with that. We will partner with you to assess the current management of positions and to develop a framework for an effective position management program.  In a position management analysis, we review the types, grades, and numbers of positions in comparison with functions and workload; review position descriptions for accuracy and clarity; compute supervisory ratios; and assess career paths, career ladders, and the balance between support positions and those assigned to perform the mission-oriented functions of the organization.
