Job analysis at Johnson Enterprises

As Johnson Enterprises continues its business ascension, it has to pay increased attention to align its human resource management model to the new needs of the expanding business. One particular area of focus in this sense is represented by the need to create job analyses and align them across different jobs and departments.

In a generic context, a job analysis is understood as a process by which the specifics of a particular job are identified. Emphasis is placed on elements such as the responsibilities assigned to the job or the requirements from the occupant of the position. The result of a job analysis is represented by the job description and the job specification (Management Study Guide) and the benefit of it is that it can be used in virtually all HRM activities, such as recruitment, selection training, integration, compensation, performance appraisal, or even legal defense (Service Canada).

The jobs have to be analyzed and the analyses have to constitute the bases for selection. In such a setting, the job selection effort has to be one based on business specific criteria. In other words, it has to be impartial to individuals and focus on skills and performance related criteria. The job selection process then will not be a discriminative one and will not generate decisions based on race, gender, religious appurtenance and so on.

This measure is enforced with the aid of the Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection….....
