A job analysis is a structured approach that identifies and determines the major requirements of a role, and the relative importance of the requirements necessary to successfully perform the duties of the position.
The purpose of job analysis is to establish and document what the role entails, and the capabilities required to perform a role effectively, as well as how the role fits into the overall organisational objectives. If a previous job analysis has been undertaken for a role, it is always a good idea to ensure that the outcomes of the analysis are still relevant.
The completion of a complete job analysis will form the basis of the Position Description for any new or substantially altered role, as well as support other workforce planning functions such as the selection process and identifying training requirements and resources. A thorough job analysis should also consider the future requirements of the position.
A job analysis questionnaire is a tool that employers can use to collect data on the tasks, duties, responsibilities, requirements, and environment of a job. It can assist employers to draft better job descriptions, evaluate employee performance, design effective training and development programs, plan workforce needs and improve employee safety and satisfaction.
This Sample: Job Analysis Questionnaire can be tailored to suit the requirements of the employer and can be updated to meet the needs of the business. Note that there are guidelines for employees contained within the resource to help with navigation
