Is your job architecture keeping up with AI?

AI is changing how work gets done, which skills organizations need, and how the value of certain jobs may evolve. But are organizations’ job architectures and compensation strategies keeping pace?  Job architecture has traditionally provided the structure organizations use to define roles, establish career paths, and guide compensation decisions. As AI reshapes responsibilities and the skills required to perform them, those structures may become harder to maintain.  Compensation teams must determine which skills are becoming more valuable, how evolving responsibilities affect the value of jobs, and when existing pay structures need to change. At the same time, they need to maintain consistency, internal equity, and a reliable foundation for pay decisions.  In this episode, Ruth Thomas and Sheila Sever explore how AI is changing the nature of work, what that means for job architecture and compensation, and how organizations can keep their frameworks relevant as jobs and skills continue to evolve.    Host: Ruth Thomas, Chief Compensation Strategist at Payscale  Guest: Sheila Sever, Specialist Leader, Total Rewards at Deloitte Consulting LLP  Resources: 2026 Human Capital Trends Report: https://www.deloitte.com/ie/en/services/consulting/research/human-capital-trends.html Job architecture in action: What a stronger job foundation looks like: https://www.payscale.com/compensation-trends/job-architecture-in-action-what-a-stronger-job-foundation-looks-like   Save your seat for our live events: https://www.payscale.com/events
