- The job family model applied to Teixeira Duarte compared to the U.K. : a comparative studyPublication . Harmening, Florentine Walburga Anna Stephanie; Xavier, RuteThis thesis examines the framework “Job Family Model” and its application to the Portuguese company Teixeira Duarte (T.D.). The company started structuring its employees accordingly. The framework is used to manage competencies. T.D. is currently trying to compare their level of competency against competing countries such as the U.K. Furthermore, the company is trying to investigate a communication strategy to announce the findings to its employees. Examining results from a comparative analysis that was constructed from data given by T.D. and data from the platform www.GoConstruct.org, demonstrates the superiority of T.D. The research suggests that T.D. employs workers with a more advanced background. Most of the employee’s skill set is more elaborate, although not more advanced. This entails that although the worker must fulfil a longer list of skill requirements, they don’t necessarily need to be more difficult. However, there are two jobs in which Teixeira Duarte lacks employee qualifications compared to GoConstruct: Electrician and Contract Director. Announcing those findings should flow in two ways. As for communicating the performance of T.D., a posting on their intranet is enough. However, communicating the job roles that need further skill improvement should be dealt with in a delicate and conscious way. Throughout the analysis, there are a few recommendations the company should follow. T.D. could for one individualize each job, T.D. should expand certain requirements on the job roles, also especially the educational and experience requirements are exceptional. Those should not change. Finally, the findings from the analysis should be appropriately communicated.
