According to Tandehill Human Capital, in the human resources field, there is a category of ''jobs'' called mission critical. {{Citation needed|date=April 2012}} Mission-critical jobs are those jobs that help the organization maintain or develop its distinct competitive advantage. Because of the importance of these jobs, they are typically paid a premium to market. When determining mission-critical jobs, organizations consider: |
|||
# A job’s expected contribution to long-term organizational success |
|||
# The criticality and/or unique contribution of a job to achieving ongoing long-term objectives |
|||
# The difference in contribution level between having an average performer and a high performer in the job. |
|||
Because of the pay premium available to mission critical jobs, the group is typically very limited (no more than 5% of all jobs) and the entire leadership team must be in agreement as to which jobs are mission critical. {{Citation needed|date=April 2012}} |

As a rule in crisis management, if a triage-type decision is made in which certain components must be eliminated or delayed, e.g. because of resource or personnel constraints, the mission critical ones must not be among them.
