The unified job grading structure has been introduced across the insurance sector of Bangladesh, covering both private general insurance and life insurance companies. In the past, designations and ranks varied among companies, but the new framework aims to establish a standardized and harmonized system of job titles and grades. As part of the broader Bangladesh Civil Service Rank Order, the government, through the Insurance Development and Regulatory Authority (IDRA), has mandated a uniform organizational hierarchy for the insurance sector. The structure consists of a total of 20 grades:
14 management grades 6 non-management/support grades Each grade specifies both Bengali and English titles, along with an equivalence crosswalk to map existing variations in designations, in the original IDRA circular. This system is expected to reduce confusion over titles and mitigate the problem of title inflation.
Features Unified ladder: From Grade–1 (Chief Executive Officer) to Grade–20 (Office Assistant/Computer Operator), creating a continuous career ladder. Separate tracks: Clear differentiation between management and support positions helps streamline recruitment, promotion, training, and salary benefits. Equivalence mapping: For example, EVP = Executive Director, SVP = Senior General Manager. This aligns diverse designations previously used across companies into a single standard.
