Job Family Framework

​​

The Job Family Framework helps to group jobs by the nature of the work, rather than by the organizational or reporting structure. Your peers within your department are likely part of the same job family as you, and may be part of the same job function.


The Job Family Framework consists of three different classifications: job families, job functions and job categories. The Job Family Framework helps to group jobs by the nature of the work, rather than by the organizational or reporting structure.
