Foundation

This session from John Holland Group’s Sarah Jordan explores how connecting job family frameworks to critical HR functions enhances role clarity, career development, and workforce planning. Drawing from real-world practices in a construction setting, Sarah reveals strategies for embedding these frameworks into talent management, succession planning, and other core HR processes.
