What are our challenges?

When job levels and seniority are undefined, team members can experience confusion around responsibilities, which hampers productivity, creates frustration, and delays decision-making.

Managing expectations can become challenging, leading to performance issues and complicating fair salary decisions, as roles lack clarity in both seniority and scope.

Establishing job and seniority levels provides a clear framework for aligning responsibilities and goals, offering a comprehensive view of team maturity, structure, and overall hiring needs. This clarity fosters a more cohesive, motivated, and efficient organization.
