What is Position Management?
What does 'Position Management' mean?
Treating the job position, rather than the person, as the unit of record in the HR system, so a role exists with its own headcount, budget, grade and reporting line whether or not someone currently occupies it. Employees are assigned to and vacate positions over time, which gives finance and HR a stable view of approved headcount, vacancies and org structure. It is the usual approach in organisations that budget by seat and need tight control over hiring.
