Chapter 4 Job Analysis

Job Analysis
I had never heard the term job analysis before and was curious to what exactley it is and what it entailed. Job anaysis is the process of getting detailed info about jobs. Analysing jobs and understanding what is required to carry out a job provide needed knowledge for staffing, training, performance and appraisal.

So what does that do for us and why is it important?
Job analysis is important to HR managers, it has been called the building block of everthing personnel does

Info tat is gleaned from job analysis:
-work design
-human resource planning
-selection
-training
-job evaluation

Job analysis is also important from a legal standpoint, the government imposes requirements related to government to equal employment opportunity. It also provides evidence of efforts made to have fair employment practices like enforcing the disabilities acts, and other equal employment acts. Therefore job analysis is pretty important to the workforce and everything pretty much revolves around it.
