Position management

Position management is a broad term used to describe the collection, analysis, and management of your personnel information. The decisions made in the setup and maintenance of your position management structure impacts your entire organization. You make the decisions when you define your position rules and position codes, and when you establish your budgets.

Considerations you should take into account to effectively manage the costs and processes related to personnel could include:

• An organization's job needs

• The number of employees

• The existing number of open positions

• The required skills needed for the open positions

• Existing qualified applicants for the open positions

• A time frame in which to fill the open positions

The Personnel Administration application lets you define job and position information. You then prepare a budget and monitor performance against that budget.
