Multinational enterprise with 10,000 employees based across 60 countries.

With 5,000+ fragmented job titles across business lines and countries, this client’s leaders had no single view of their workforce—making it impossible to manage skills, costs, or mobility strategically. Employees were left navigating a maze of roles without visibility into career paths or the skills needed to grow. HR teams, meanwhile, were unable to provide consistent frameworks to support the business on a global scale.

We partnered with HR and business leaders to deliver a first-ever global career framework – a transformation in both scale and impact: 

• Reduced 5,000+ job titles to ~600 globally consistent roles 
• Mapped career paths and mobility options across functions and geographies 
• Built a global skills library linked to roles and development opportunities 
• Engaged a network of 300 business contributors, ensuring adoption by design and making the framework HR-led but business-owned 

For the first time, the organization gained clarity and control over its workforce: 

• Business leaders can now analyze, plan, and manage talent strategically on a global scale 
• Employees have visibility into career paths and development journeys, empowering growth and mobility creating breakthrough engagement 
• HR teams operate from a unified, scalable foundation to support both business strategy and employee experience
