Channel 4

Over the past 18 months, we have been involved in extensive work with Channel 4; to help them establish reward priorities, and then turn some of them into reality.

We have been involved in developing a brand new bespoke job evaluation system, developing factors from scratch which are unique to Channel 4. The process involved sitting down with business managers and the HR team to develop factors which the business really recognised as being important to them. It was a very collaborative method, with several iterations of the overall job evaluation structure being worked through before we came up with the final version. Channel 4 is a complex organisation, employing a wide range of different roles, from traditional infrastructure roles such as Finance, Marketing and HR to specialist TV roles such as Rights, and Advertising Sales. In addition, there is a whole job family of Editorial who are responsible for commissioning some of the most popular programmes on the Channel today – ‘Grand Designs’, ‘SuperNanny’ and buying US exports such as ‘Desperate Housewives’ and the phenomenally successful ‘Lost’. In this particular job family are some of the most sought after and highest paid individuals who work for the Channel.
