The alterations Bayer made to the Hay point system involve a partial shift toward the competency-based method for assigning points to jobs.
Competency-based system keep the focus on the job, but the emphasis is on the competencies needed to perform the job tether than the job activities.
In Bayer's new system, points assigned for "Improvement opportunity" and "Contribution" reflect job activities.
The points assigned for "Capability" reflect competencies.
