Ginny,

Thank you for your advice.  I have a paperback version of the book from ARMA, which we are using to develop the competencies piece of the proposal for the change in how my position is banded.  That information is most valuable.  

My job description was originally based on the ARMA job descriptions publication, but I will certainly purchase an updated copy.  

I am also looking for information from users in this list on the following pieces of information.  Having this information from other RM professionals will be incredibly valuable when it comes time to discuss this with our HR department.  

1)      What is the name of your job title/position?

2)      How are records and information management positions classified within your organization?

3)      Does your organization have a classification and compensation system that focuses on career bands?

		a.       If you answered yes to number 3, how are your records and information management positions 						classified?

Thank you all for your advice, it is most appreciated.

Chris

Chris:
You should obtain a copy of the "Records and Information Management Core Competencies" published by ARMA.  
It is a free download from the ARMA Bookstore.  There is also a new publication "Job Descriptions for Records and Information Management" available from the Bookstore for a fee.

Subject: [RM] Classification of Records & Information Management Positions



Hello,

My organization is moving towards a new employee classification and compensation structure.  This new system classifies positions (job titles) according to competencies (knowledge, skills and abilities) and is typically known as "career banding".  By definition, a Career Band should include jobs that share similar knowledge, skills and abilities - as well as provide a logical progression for advancement based on higher level competencies and job responsibilities.

I would like to get any insight that other RIM professionals may have on a few issues regarding the classification of my position within this new system.  First, my current title is Records Management Analyst and I report to the Office of Institutional Compliance.  I am responsible for the overall administration of the Institutional Records Management Program for our University  System as well as two of our campuses.  Each unit within the organization has a designated Departmental Records Management Representative (RMR) to specifically manage records for their areas - but I provide guidance, oversight and training for each of the RMRs.  This being said, I am the only person in an institution-wide position (Records Management Analyst).

As part of our classification study, the institutional Records Management Analyst position (my position) has been placed into a career band named "Human Resource Representative" along with positions that operate within our Human Resources Department.

This being said, I have a few questions for those who have time.  Even if you cannot speak directly to a "career band" classification structure, it will be helpful for me to know what is the name of your job title/position.


1)      What is the name of your job title/position?

2)      How are records and information management positions classified within your organization?

3)      Does your organization have a classification and compensation system that focuses on career bands?

a.       If you answered yes to number 3, how are your records and information management positions classified?

I sincerely appreciate any insight that others might be able to provide.  You may respond to the list or contact me off the list at [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]>.   I am also pulling information from the Department of Labor and various resources at ARMA.

Again, thank you.

Chris Foster
