With the high velocity of change in organizations, jobs and employee responsibilities are evolving more quickly than before.
Understanding the impact of change on job responsibilities as it pertains to talent management and overall human capital strategy is at the heart of job analysis.
The amount of effort and resources needed for a job analysis depends upon the current information available on the job/job family as well as the nature of the change impacting the job responsibilities.
One of the most important steps in job analysis is conducting an interview with the best source of information: job incumbents.
A critical aspect of any good job analysis is the questionnaire and subsequent ratings.
Depending on the use of the job analysis results, the employees and their respective performance managers will need to receive communications on the changes to the jobs explaining the impact on their job responsibilities, performance appraisal, job grade and pay range, job requirements and specifications, and any training or development needs.
