JOB ANALYSIS
Job analysis is the process of collecting, analyzing, and setting out information about the content of jobs and the related qualifications necessary for one to perform them. The process involves use of methods and procedures to determine the duties, responsibilities, working conditions, working relationships, and required qualifications.

Job analysis produces the following information about a job:

(b) Internal pay equity can be ensured.
(c) The level of pay within the organization can be matched to the prevailing rates in the industry.

A comprehensive job analysis helps supervisors and employees be aware of risks and hazards associated with the machines and tools in use as well as the work environment. It also enables management provide special facilities and work arrangements for the physically challenged employees, pregnant workers, and other vulnerable people.

Information from job analysis is useful in decisions to enlarge or enrich jobs. These are processes that bring about improvement in work methods, reduction in errors, elimination of unnecessary materials handling and duplication of effort, reduction of fatigue, increased employee commitment and, hopefully, performance.
